Community Participation

Every person living in a JSDD residence brings unique hopes, talents, and goals, along with individual support needs. Residents deserve meaningful opportunities to participate fully in community life. JSDD’s residential program connects each person with activities, relationships, and resources in the local community and beyond.

Daily Life and Individual Choice

Daily life in a JSDD home is designed to support safety, well-being, connection, and independence. Residents who need continuous assistance may receive 24-hour staffing. On weekdays, residents may work, attend vocational or day programs, or take part in individualized community-based activities. Evenings and weekends may include personal or group outings, holiday celebrations, and vacations. At every step, each resident’s needs, interests, choices, and preferences guide the support they receive.

Life | Home | Tech (LHT)

Life | Home | Tech incorporates enabling technology throughout our residential community. Technology does not replace the care and security provided by JSDD. It empowers our residents to increase their independence, feel safer in their home, helps them reach their goals, and improves their quality of life.
