More Than Care: How Flatrock Creates a Community of Support & Growth

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities need support within each aspect of their daily lives. The right type of care will not only meet their physical needs but also foster growth and help them to reach their full potential. Creating a caring environment to meet this type of care requires an intentional commitment to each individual.

At Flatrock, we help adults with mental illnesses and developmental disabilities discover their independence and celebrate their abilities in a family-like, home environment that adapts to their unique needs and interests.  At Flatrock, we strive to help each of our residents feel special and a part of our family.  We have assisted living homes that provide specialized care for persons with mental illnesses and developmental disabilities that have resulted in severe behavioral challenges that other care settings have been unable to meet.  We have a team of experienced clinicians that provide direct services to our homes.  With our in-house clinical team, we have the ability to provide invaluable benefits, such as develop in-depth behavior plans, provide extensive staff training, coaching, and mentoring on programming implementation.  Our mission is always to provide a sanctuary for everyone so that they can live fully, achieve their dreams, impact each other and change the world.

A Home That Nurtures Comfort, Stability and Growth

Our homes provide care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The services we offer include a supportive environment where our residents can be themselves and connect with others. At each of our homes, we have highly trained professionals who offer 24/7 support for each individual need.

 

We offer low resident-to-staff ratios and emphasize person-centered care. When our team can offer one-on-one attention and build strong relationships with residents, it helps each person feel seen and respected. From medical oversight to behavioral support, we create a loving and structured environment for personal growth.

Individuals with disabilities require more than just physical care. That’s why we offer a wide range of services to our residents. We are committed to their emotional, mental and developmental well-being. It’s important to our team to offer independence and dignity to each person.
