Community Housing and Supported Living

We all seek home, a place to call our own where we feel we belong. Bridgeway’s Community Housing/Residential Living Services help create that home life for all people with disabilities and/or serious mental health diagnoses, assisting them to maintain an independent, satisfying life in the community. Bridgeway offers an array of supported and supervised Community Housing settings. 

These services strive to impart a comprehensive set of life skills including:

  • Daily independent living skills
  • Interpersonal and communication skills
  • Coping and social skills and skills in the use of community resources

Every setting in the Community Housing/Residential Living program provides a variety of opportunities for learning and growth. These include:

  • Participation in house/apartment routines
  • Participation in off-site programs such as:
    • Community support services
    • Community integration and recovery services
    • Treatment services
    • Recreational and leisure opportunities
    • Vocational services
    • On-site services provided through Residential Assistants

 

Bridgeway offers an array of supported and supervised Community Housing settings including group homes, supervised apartments, and supported apartments.

Group Homes

Group homes provide opportunities for individuals with disabilities to increase their independence through 24/7 compassionate guidance and supervision. In our Pekin community, these homes feature supervised apartment living, delivering a high level of support tailored to each person's specific needs. For those with mental illness, group homes offer more intensive supervision than typical apartment living.

Our dedicated staff assists residents in developing:

  • Essential daily living skills, such as cooking, shopping, housekeeping, and money management
  • Medication training and self-management of their conditions
  • Interpersonal and behavior management skills, enabling residents to manage their symptoms and regain lost functioning

Specific services in these settings include:

  • Case coordination
  • Medication monitoring
  • Supportive counseling
  • Skills training
  • Recreational activities

Each resident enjoys their own bedroom and shares common areas, with group homes located in residential neighborhoods across Galesburg, Macomb, Kewanee and Pekin.
