Developmental Disabilities Services in Virginia
We support people to live the lives they find meaningful and fulfilling by providing quality community support and residential services in Virginia.
Person-Centered Support & Individualized Care
Wall Residences was formed in 1995 with the purpose of providing personalized support to people who have significant support needs.
Wall Residences provides support to individuals who experience developmental disabilities and/or a long term mental health diagnosis to live a meaningful life in both home and community settings. We do this through a focus on Person-Centered practices.
Treating everyone with respect and dignity is very important for our providers. As a result, this enables the individual to strengthen their current talents and encourages them to develop new talents. This further assists the individual to find a balance between desires, staying healthy and safe, while building relationships.
This assists those we support to reach for the stars to make their own dreams come true.
We provide support to adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Please check our services pages for more details on specific services offered.
Experience
Since our founding 25 years ago in 1995, we have highly experienced, talented and credentialed leaders, including nurses, clinicians and behavior support specialists within our organization. We are well-trained and knowledgeable Direct Support Professionals with immediate knowledge on regulatory changes as they occur and the impact it will have on the individuals we support and those who support them.
Compassion & Advocacy
The individuals we support have stories that deserve to be told and we believe that every person has a contribution to make. Our job is to support individuals so that they are seen past the disability label and can contribute to the life of the home and the larger community. People who have "failed" in other settings have thrived with the right-sized support and solid relationships.
Transparency & Responsiveness
Information is shared frequently with guardians, family members, and support coordinators as needed or desired. We share celebrations and problems so we can learn from others' challenges and successes. Information learned from state officials will be shared as soon as possible with our staff and contracted providers to ensure frequent communication. We also work to respond quickly to a request for information, to meet an individual or to communicate our findings. We are dedicated to responsiveness and maintain the ability to respond to an emergency 24/7.
Collaboration
We are a team-based organization where every person is important and deserves to be heard. We actively collaborate with individuals, family members, support coordinators, regulators, and the larger community - churches, schools, workplaces, shops, and volunteer organizations. We work with family members who are struggling to find the right fit and work to create a solution.

Sponsored Residential Services in the Virginia Area
In this service, up to two individuals live in the home of a professional service provider and become an integrated part of the family. The family providers provide most of the needed services, and they may employ other trained and certified workers to assist them with care responsibilities.
High-Quality Available Homes in Virginia
We offer available homes for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Family providers dedicate themselves to helping the individual in their care to be accepted and included as one of the family. Our services are small and well-staffed to meet the needs and preferences of each person referred.
Professional In-Home Care & Support
This program provides support to individuals living in their own home, either by themselves or with their natural family. In this program, the individual’s (and where applicable, the family’s) strengths and needs are assessed to determine how the person can best be supported to live as independently as possible, with the maximum quality of life within their own home and community.
Over 20 Years of Experience in Community Support
Our community engagement and coaching services are offered in small groups in the larger community. Wall Residences Activities Program (WRAP) is a community engagement, coaching and workplace assistance service directed by the individual and their person-centered plan. The program supports adults with intellectual disabilities to acquire, retain or improve skills necessary to build positive social behavior, interpersonal competence, greater independence, employ-ability and personal choice.
Qualified Nursing Services
With a range of nursing services, our qualified health care professionals can give individuals the medical care and attention necessary to ensure a life that supports the wants and desires of the individual. We have regional RN care managers, skilled nursing services and private duty nursing members of our team to provide the most comprehensive nursing services available.
Licensed Behavioral Services
Wall Residences has licensed clinicians and a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst on staff to provide therapeutic/behavioral consultation as needed, as well as to access additional professional services as needed. We provide environments where differences are embraced and strong relationships are built. Our well-trained staff provides on-going support around the individual to give them a loving and encouraging community where they can meaningfully live their lives. Our services range between behavioral support and nursing services to sponsored residential, therapeutic consultations and beyond.
Personalized Support Services in Virginia
The support service provided is individualized according to the needs and preferences of the individual as outlined in the plan for support. Placements in these services are carefully considered for compatibility and safety of others already living in the environment.

Improving the Quality of Lives for Individuals

We will always put the needs of the individuals we support, first. With years of experience, we use team-based approaches and person-centered practices to fully support those who have significant support needs. No matter what need an individual may have, we’re here to provide safe, secure and stable environments to call home. Our quality and inclusive services are uniquely and specifically tailored for individuals to help them achieve their goals.
Support the campaign to – Spread the word, to end the word!
People with developmental or intellectual disabilities would prefer that we remove the “R” word from our vocabularies. “Mental Retardation” is still used in very limited professional contexts; however, it is not preferred as it carries negative meanings. Please join us to make sure that people who experience intellectual disabilities are treated with Respect – the other “R” word!
