Residential Living

This is an image of one of our clients and one of the camp counselors.

ACHIEVA provides many residential living options for adults with intellectual disabilities.  Guided by a person centered approach and focused on the achievement of personal outcomes, ACHIEVA supports full inclusion in the community. This program has consistently achieved 100% on its licensing reviews and is designed to meet the individual goals and wishes of its customers. 

Residential Living Options include:

• Residential Homes: ACHIEVA has nearly 50 residential homes throughout Allegheny County. These homes provide adults with disabilities the ability to live independently from their families in a comfortable home and community setting.

• Apartment Living: ACHIEVA operates a number of apartments throughout Allegheny County. Adults with disabilities live independently with daily support from trained ACHIEVA employees. Apartments are located near public transportation and provide adults with disabilities with the ability to structure their own daily lives.

• Life Sharing Arrangements: ACHIEVA works with families who desire a family living arrangement for their loved one with a disability. If the individual chooses not to live with their natural family, ACHIEVA locates shared families. Prospective home providers are screened for program suitability. 

• In-Home Support: Supports are provided to individuals in their natural home and are designed to meet individual and family goals. Personal living, personal safety, and socialization skills are developed. Our residential supports operate on the assumption that individuals can continually learn more complex skills and thereby gain more independence.

• ESPRIT Support: This program is designed for parents and caregivers who have intellectual disabilities.  Parents with disabilities may need support to learn parenting and other living skills necessary to care for children. With guidance, 80 percent of the children in these families will maintain equal footing with their classmates.
