Explore Congregate Living with AbleLight

AbleLight has been providing congregate living (also called residential housing or group homes) support for people with developmental disabilities since the day we first opened our doors in 1904. That’s because having a safe and loving home is a necessary foundation in order to thrive.

Congregate living, also called a group home, provides care, support and a place to live for typically 4-6 people. Our expert team of caregivers are onsite 24/7 to ensure the people we support are well cared for.

AbleLight’s congregate living homes serve as small communities, so that people with developmental disabilities can find independence, get the support they need, and form enriching friendships with their caregivers and the other people they live with.

In addition, our caregivers, also known as Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), are committed to enriching the lives of the residents through activities such as gardening, cooking, and crafts, providing guidance, coaching and support for daily tasks, and assisting them in reaching their own personal goals. Many of our caregivers say that the people they support are like family to them.
