Our Philosophy

Home, Family &
Community at the Core

Graceful Residential is a company owned and run by professionals who value the importance of home and family. Therefore, the individuals we care for are encouraged to maintain relationships, develop a network of friends, and prevent themselves from becoming a separate entity from their family and community.

The extent to which a person becomes a member of their community is a matter of personal preference. As a minimum, community membership means that the individual will help make major as well as day-to-day decisions affecting their life.

Our philosophy in action
What We Believe

Essential Elements for
Maximum Development

Family, home, friends and community inclusion are essential for each individual to reach their maximal development, and realization of their potential is an integral part of each resident's life regardless of their disability.

Creating New Experiences

Being a responsible service provider means creating new and meaningful experiences for each person that comes into our care.

Advocating for Change

Where there are barriers, we will advocate for change, and work diligently to overcome and succeed for each individual.

Empowering Individuals

Our staff are dedicated to assisting each individual to exert greater control over their life and develop their competencies.

Our mission
Our Mission

Rights, Opportunity &
Quality of Life

Our mission is to assure that each individual can experience all of the rights granted to them as a citizen. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience and participate in a community life, and we wish to provide such a life for those in our care.

Our goal is to assure that each individual is able to experience the highest possible quality of life under our care. Allowing individuals to be nurtured in a loving and supportive environment while giving them the freedom to hold their own system of values helps us to prevent the deprivation of any of our individuals' privacy, dignity, privileges, or rights.

We wish to provide each individual with the opportunity to maximize their abilities to their fullest potential, and hope to improve the quality of life of each person in doing so.

Our Standards

High-Quality Care &
Training Programs

Superior Service Standards

Providing high-quality care and training programs set the standard for what we expect out of our facilities, and we devote ourselves to providing superior services each day.

Teamwork Approach

As we assist each individual with identifying their needs, we work as a team to create and enact a care plan while our staff does their utmost to help each individual succeed and progress.

Consistent Support

While keeping in mind the personal needs and concerns of the individuals in our care, our staff works to consistently supply all the services that are needed by each individual each day.

Community Connection

The individuals that stay with us are encouraged to stay in contact with friends and family while under our care to ensure that they do not become isolated from the community.

Our Approach

Individualized Care
Close to Home

Graceful Residential works tirelessly to provide the adequate supplementary services that adhere to the many varying needs of our individuals while keeping them within the state and as close to home as we possibly can.

It is our duty to provide each individual with the best services that we can by utilizing all the resources at our disposal to maximize each individuals' growth. The programs that we employ are not chosen based on artificial or inappropriate factors, but rather on the degree to which each program is able to foster the growth of our developmentally disabled individuals.

Adaptive Policies

As time passes and the people and things around us change, so must we; our policies, programs, and practices all must change and adapt.

Tailored Care Plans

We work to eliminate problems by individually tailoring each care plan to fit the specific needs of those we serve.

Effective Services Only

We do not keep services that are not useful or simply do not work. Any service that we provide must support a community life.

Our Goals

Community Integration &
Personal Development

The full amount to which any individual wishes to be a part of the community is ultimately up to them; however, we hope to see an interest not only in making day-to-day decisions, but in major life choices as well.
