Residential Services


At our Residential Services, all care begins with a person-centered planning meeting, where the individual, guardians, and families can work together with our professional staff to establish goals that will enhance the individual's quality of life.

Our facilities offer a full medical and behavioral continuum of care with support and service coordination with enhanced health care for adults with developmental disabilities. The size of our specialized facilities ranges from four to 14 beds. They are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and are located in residential communities across West Michigan.

Specialized Residential Services

We offer additional services for individuals in crisis who are in need of short-term accomodation at Gilead Crisis Home.  Hope Network Developmental Services is proud to offer the only Prader-Willi Residential Program in Michigan, providing supports and structure to allow individuals with Prader Willi Syndrome to live more independently.

Dedicated Staff

Our direct care staff is trained to meet the standards of Community Mental Health agencies, the State of Michigan licensing rules, and CARF, a professional accreditation association. Our staff is trained to be sensitive to cultural diversity and strive to honor the individuality of each resident. Each resident is valued and respected as a whole person with physical, spiritual, and emotional needs. If desired, our Church Partnership program can facilitate connections between residents and their desired house of worship.

Community Living

Our residents are encouraged to be active participants in community events and activities. Concert and festival attendance, or participation in work skills training programs is an important part of living in the community. Some programs offer convenient and rewarding on-site activity programs to supplement the community integration activities. All homes are located in residential communities and provide a home-like environment to promote a feeling of community life.



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.
