These are not hospital-like, sterile places; these are cozy, safe homes where residents are encouraged to be themselves and pursue their goals whether that be getting gold at the Special Olympics or starting job training to supplement their income. Residents tend to be very active in our community. DSPs are a big part of that active, fun lifestyle and creating a safe environment for everyone.
