Developmental Services | Specialized Care

Specialized Care



Through our continuum of Specialized Care, individuals with developmental disabilities are offered a spectrum of service options from 24-hour, full-time care to finding competitive employment. 

Residential Services are for individuals with a developmental disability and provide a home-like environment to promote a feeling of community living and support community involvement.

Our Respite Services provide quality substitute care so caregivers can have time to renew or be involved in other areas of interest.

Skill Building and Community Inclusion offers people with cognitive and physical disabilities the opportunity to develop and enhance their pre-vocational skills through facility based, paid work opportunities and life skills activities.


Feel free to Ask Jenny any questions you may have about our programs or services.

United Way Small Business Challenge
12/20/2011
Heart of West Michigan United Way invites you to take on the Small Business Challenge, created through a generous matching grant of $100,000 from the Steelcase Foundation. Any new United Way gift of $1,000 or more from a workplace of 100 or less employees will be matched up to a total of $100,000 by the end of March 2012.
 
Small businesses are the heart of most communities, yet during the 2010 United Way Campaign small businesses of 100 employees or less made up only 11.5% of total campaign dollars. This campaign year, United Way is hoping to change that with the Small Business Challenge.
