Mission & Philosophy

Mission Statement

The mission and purpose of WALL RESIDENCES is to provide high quality community services to individuals who have a primary diagnosis of a developmental disability, or a long-term mental illness.

Services are provided in home and in community-based environments. And are designed to provide a high degree of individual attention and emotional support. Also providing opportunity for self-expression and personalized routine.

 

The success of the service is measured by:

The level of confidence and personal expression by the individual.
Is the individual respected in the community as a contributing and valued member?
The level of integration and acceptance into the life of the home and community.
Is the person developing a spiritual, reverent response to life?
How many friends does the individual have?
What is the strength of relationships?
Is the individual learning to understand and express their emotions and able to relate to the needs of others?
Are hopes and dreams explored?
Is the individual able to have confidence in physical expression through  aspects of physical, emotional and spiritual health?

 

The goal of Wall Residences is to encourage the total health and well being of each person, through an all-inclusive approach to services.

All service providers and community support personnel are evaluated to ensure that they are psychologically healthy. Who have the capacity and desire to respect and learn from the individuals receiving services. The goals of the program will be met when all people in the community know that each person can reach their full potential . The individuals we support have unique strengths and needs just like all other people. Acceptance of diversity is encouraged through the inclusion of the individual we support in normal home and community activities.

Our Philosophy

The philosophy of Wall Residences is based upon the following principles:

Most Individuals with disabilities who require continuous available support often  prefer to live in a home rather than an isolated facility or group home.

Many individuals with disabilities benefit from the consistency of knowing who will be there to assist them day after day. While the provider families have trained and certified back-up workers,  the primary care is delivered by the same people. As a Result shift changes, which are disruptive for some, disappear. The daily schedule is created around the individual.

The respect that the community grants to a well-established family will be naturally extended to an individual with a disability who lives with the family. Inclusion into the community occurs naturally without the negative reaction and fear that can occur when a multiple bed group home is built in a neighborhood.
