Our Group Homes
Living in our group home provide a positive experience for children who are struggling in their family or community environment. Our homes offer a stable and predictable daily routine, along with the opportunity to form positive relationships with other children and staff members. The children receive regular supervision, structure and discipline, as well as access to educational and recreational opportunities. Our homes also offer support for children with special needs, including those with mental health issues, disabilities, and behavioral problems.
At the Chez, we recognize that living in a group home can also be a challenging experience for children. They may struggle with feelings of loneliness, homesickness and a lack of privacy. To help children adjust to the new living arrangement, we provide them with a high level of support and understanding from the staff and other children. Additionally, we encourage them to participate in activities and events that help them build relationships and feel a sense of community within our homes.
