Independence, with people in your corner.
It takes a village
Hero's Village helps adults who can't safely live entirely on their own build a life in their own home — with support that's sized to fit the person, not the other way around.
Support that steps back as independence steps forward.
Your own place
We support people in their own home or apartment — not a facility. The goal is always a real, independent life.
A plan built around you
Every person we work with gets a support plan shaped by their own goals, routines, and pace — reviewed and adjusted as life changes.
People who show up
Consistent staff, real relationships. We staff for continuity, not turnover, because trust takes time to build.
"Hero's Village didn't just find my brother a place to live. They found him a way to run his own life again, with people who actually know him checking in." — A family we support

Get in touchIndependence isn't the absence of help. It's having the right kind.
We started Hero's Village around a simple belief: people who need support to live on their own shouldn't have to trade away their independence to get it. A village doesn't take over someone's life — it stands around them.
Our approach
Residential habilitation isn't one-size-fits-all, so we don't run it that way. We start by listening — to the person, their family, and whoever already knows them — before we ever write a support plan.
Support is scaled to the person, not the diagnosis. Some people need a few hours of help a week with budgeting or transportation. Others need daily support with routines, safety, or communication. Both are independence — just at different points on the path.
Why "Village"
Nobody lives a fully independent life without a support system — most of us just don't call ours a "program." Family, neighbors, coworkers, friends: that's a village, and it's what makes independence sustainable.
We built Hero's Village to be that structure for people who don't have enough of it already in place — reliable, consistent, and built to fade into the background as it's needed less.
Our values
Dignity first
We support adults as adults. Every plan starts from respect, not risk-management.
Real independence
Our job is to make ourselves less necessary over time, not more.
Consistency
Same faces, same expectations. Trust is built through showing up.
Community
A good life includes more than services — we support connection outside our walls too.
Residential habilitation, built around daily life.
Residential habilitation (ReHab) is hands-on support that helps someone build and keep the skills they need to live in their own home — delivered where daily life actually happens.
Habilitation intervention
Direct, hands-on teaching and support around daily living skills — cooking, hygiene, housekeeping, medication routines, and safety awareness — practiced in the person's own home.
Skill-building & community navigation
Support learning to manage money, use public transportation, shop, keep appointments, and get around the community confidently and safely.
Companion & in-home support
Regular, scheduled check-ins and hands-on assistance from a consistent support staff member, matched for fit and continuity.
Respite care
Short-term relief for family caregivers, so the person's regular routine and support continues even when a primary caregiver needs a break.
Behavioral support coordination
Coordination with behavioral health providers to keep support plans consistent across every part of a person's life, not just inside our program.
Transportation support
Help getting to appointments, work, community activities, and errands — with an eye toward building independent transportation skills over time.

For adults who want their own life — with support close by.
Hero's Village works with adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities who want to live in their own home or apartment rather than a group home or institutional setting, but need some level of consistent support to do it safely.
This may be a fit if
You or your family member wants to live independently but needs help with daily routines, safety, or life skills.
You're currently in a more restrictive setting and are ready to explore a less restrictive one.
You have a Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver, or think you might qualify for one.
A case manager, school, or care team has recommended residential habilitation services.
Not sure it fits?
Eligibility for residential habilitation usually runs through a state Medicaid waiver program, and the details vary by situation. You don't need to have that figured out before you call us.
Reach out and describe your situation — we'll tell you honestly whether we're a fit, and point you in the right direction if we're not.
