Trusted Residential Support for Adults with Developmental Disabilities
Caring Hands specializes in supervised residential care for adults with Autism and other developmental disabilities — many of whom are navigating co-occurring behavioral, emotional, or medical needs.
We serve individuals who:
-
Can no longer be safely supported at home
-
Are at risk for or recovering from neglect, abuse, or abandonment
-
Are being discharged from inpatient behavioral health or medical care
-
Require structured daily living support in a home-style environment
-
Need continuity of care with oversight, stability, and dignity
Why Our Partners Trust Caring Hands
For Hospitals
Hospitals can depend on Caring Hands to support smooth, coordinated discharges — especially for patients who require ongoing residential care beyond the clinical setting. We provide a structured, supportive environment that eases the transition from inpatient to outpatient services. Our homes are clean, well-kept, and operated by highly trained staff who understand the importance of continuity in treatment, medication adherence, and behavioral support. We maintain open communication with discharge planners and care teams, ensuring that no detail is lost in the handoff and that the individual continues progressing without disruption.
Whether the referral comes from a psychiatric unit, medical floor, or emergency department, our team responds promptly to placement inquiries and works collaboratively to determine readiness, fit, and long-term support plans. We understand that timeliness, documentation, and post-discharge stability are critical — and we’re prepared to deliver on all three.
For Behavioral Health and Community-Based Organizations
Community-based behavioral health providers, CSBs, and case managers can count on Caring Hands as a consistent, collaborative residential partner. Our homes serve as a stabilizing bridge between clinical treatment and long-term community integration. For individuals who are no longer appropriate for institutional settings but still need structured daily support, we offer an environment that promotes growth without sacrificing oversight.
We work side-by-side with Medicaid providers, therapists, clinicians, and vocational teams to ensure that care plans are actionable, individualized, and updated as the resident progresses. This collaboration supports a holistic approach to wellness — addressing behavioral, emotional, social, and functional goals in one cohesive environment.
Our model helps reduce the risk of re-hospitalization, housing instability, or regression in progress. For behavioral health professionals seeking dependable residential solutions aligned with the mission of recovery, resilience, and wellness, Caring Hands is a ready partner.
For Adult Protective Services (APS)
Adult Protective Services professionals can rely on us when adults with developmental disabilities need urgent or long-term residential placement due to neglect, abuse, abandonment, or caregiver overwhelm. We understand that your mission is not only to protect, but to stabilize — and that requires trusted partners with proven environments.
Caring Hands offers placements that are trauma-informed, community-based, and designed to respect the dignity and agency of each individual. Our small home model allows for closer supervision, faster rapport-building, and greater emotional safety for those emerging from difficult or dangerous living situations. Whether the individual is under temporary guardianship or has ongoing legal and case management needs, we coordinate closely with your team to ensure all parties are informed, supported, and aligned in moving forward.
We are also equipped to support family members during transitions, especially in cases of caregiver burnout or when existing home care arrangements are no longer sustainable. By providing a reliable residential option, we help reduce emergency interventions and give APS teams a proactive solution they can feel confident recommending.
Micro-Communities, Big Impact
At Caring Hands, we believe that real progress happens in real homes — not in institutional settings. That’s why we’ve built a micro-community model that places individuals in small, supportive residences embedded in safe, welcoming neighborhoods.
Individualized Attention
With lower resident-to-staff ratios, our team can focus deeply on each individual’s goals, challenges, and day-to-day care — creating a more personalized and responsive support environment.
Faster Adjustment, Stronger Connection
Small-scale settings make transitions smoother. Individuals settle in more quickly and feel less overwhelmed, building relationships not only with staff but also with neighbors, community members, and employers.
Better Long-Term Outcomes
This model supports greater stability, increased independence, and better integration into work, social, and community life. Residents don’t just live here — they grow here.
It’s a model rooted in dignity, not dependency — and it’s working.
