Our 24-hour residential support services provide individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities with a safe, comfortable home that is closely connected to family members, friends, and their community. Two to five individuals typically live together with varying levels of staff support ratios based on the needs of the individuals being served. Vinfen’s dedicated, highly-trained staff partner with family members, guardians, and other providers to help individuals achieve their personal goals and build skills needed for greater independence.

Staff also assist individuals with managing responsibilities of daily life, meal planning and preparation, transportation to medical appointments, and managing personal finances. We work with individuals to foster social connections, friendships, and community membership while respecting and celebrating the individual’s culture, talents, and contributions. 

Vinfen offers residential services to individuals with complex needs in the community through our specialized residential services. We provide these services to adults who have intensive medical needs, adults with autism, and young adults who are transitioning from living with their families to more independent settings. 

Shared Living is a supported living arrangement where an individual, couple, or family share their home and life’s experiences with a person with an intellectual or developmental disability. Shared Living arrangements closely replicate a private home experience and maximize the individual’s independence and quality of life. Shared Living providers are pre-screened, professionally trained, and matched with an individual. They provide a safe and comfortable home environment and support the individual with tasks such as meal preparation, medication administration, arrangement of and transportation to medical appointments, as well as socialization and participation in the community.

Emergency residential services are available for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who need short-term residential and day supports. The program provides clinical stabilization for individuals who may be in crisis or in need of temporary housing and works to re-integrate the individual back into his or her permanent living arrangement.

Vinfen works with individuals and their families to develop a personalized model that meets the individual’s needs. This person-centered service is intended to help individuals attain the highest possible level of independence to live happy, productive, and valued lives.

Services may include assistance with transportation, medication administration, meal planning, managing personal finances, social activity planning, representative payee, and management of benefits.
