Many times it can be a difficult decision regarding whether or not you should place a loved one in a home. When all the facts are known, suddenly that decision can become an easier decision and everyone is at peace with a positive solution. Why is a Residential Care Home right for your loved one? It gives them the freedom and safety to still live as they choose. There is an article about “The Pot, the Plant, and the Roots” that gives a great example why a home can be beneficial for a family member.
Sometimes our loved ones have experienced trauma and they need a little extra love, care, attention, and guidance. Individuals who deal with disabilities – especially intellectual disabilities, need to make sure they have the right support nearby. Beacon Specialized Living has on-call clinicians and nurses; if anything goes wrong the right professionals are in the exact place they need to be for your loved one’s best care.

The Individuals we Serve enjoy building relationships with their DSPs and their home companions. They get to live their life the way they’ve always wanted to live. Throughout the country we strive to place homes and other programs near communities with access to shops, stores, parks, and other hubs of entertainment and interaction. Say a resident wants to learn how to play an instrument, or music therapy might be a good option for them, there is a program right down the street that provides musical delight and development for our Individuals at a very reasonable rate. If a person wants to have an animal, there are animal shelters just down the road to match the love and care an animal needs as well as giving our person the joy they want to experience with a pet. How about art? Tommy Hennigan thrives with his art in the Pennsylvania area. His hands tell a story through the vibrant coloration and images he creates.
Individuals want to experience life and be accepted in a safe and comfortable environment. Beacon Specialized Living is able to create environments that allow our Individuals to feel just that. When family and friends then come to visit they are entering a home where their loved one is confident, happy, and healthy with Beacon Specialized Living services.
