Your room
Your own room
Each resident has a private bedroom with a door that locks and a personal key. Every room has a closet, a window with curtains or blinds, and a bed with a frame, a clean mattress, and a pillow. We provide sheets, bedding for the season, towels, and washcloths, plus soap, shampoo, and toilet paper. Residents also have a dresser for their belongings and locked storage for small personal items, and they are welcome to bring their own furniture, as space allows, and decorate their room.
Shared spaces

The living room, dining area, and quiet room are for everyone, and the dining table seats all five residents together. The kitchen is part of the home, with food and snacks available at any time. The home has laundry facilities and an outdoor area that is open to every resident. Residents can use a phone in private, and there are no limits on the hours it is available.

Accessibility
Accessibility
OHA's rules for new residential treatment homes include accessibility requirements, such as at least one accessible bathroom, an accessible outdoor area, lever handles on doors, handrails on stairways, and doors wide enough for wheelchairs. Before we move anyone in, each person's ability to evacuate the home safely is assessed, and residents who need help get accommodations.
We will list our home's specific accessibility features here before we open, such as entrances, bathrooms, and where bedrooms are located. If you have a specific access need, ask us.
