At Dungarvin Wisconsin, we are committed to our mission of
"respecting and responding to the choices of people with
developmental disabilities".
Many people with developmental disabilities require some
assistance in order to live a full, productive and rich life.
This assistance may be required whether a person lives with
family, in a group home or in his/her own apartment or home.
The service and support an individual receives is tailored to
meet that person’s own hopes, dreams, desires and needs.
The services and support a person receives through Dungarvin can
include assistance with personal hygiene, maintaining a healthy
lifestyle, accessing the community, learning to cook, and
budgeting finances as well as many other services.
Dungarvin Wisconsin has a
reputation for supporting people who have complicated medical
and/or behavioral needs. Through extensive training of our
staff and expertise at all levels of the agency, Dungarvin has
proven to be successful in providing supports to those
individuals who have complicated needs.
Each person is unique and no
support model meets the needs of everyone. Therefore,
Dungarvin provides many different types of support. The
following are the different types of supports we provide:
Adult Family Homes (AFH
1-2): These are 1-2 person homes
that are usually certified by the county. Typically, Dungarvin Wisconsin either owns or rents the home.
Dungarvin provides 24-hour support in daily living skills, money
management, health maintenance and community interaction.
Adult Family Homes (AFH
3-4): These are 3-4 person homes
licensed by the state of Wisconsin. Typically, Dungarvin
Wisconsin either owns or rents the home. Dungarvin
provides 24-hour support in daily living skills, money
management, health maintenance and community interaction.
Clustered Apartment
Setting: These are apartments
available for rent by the general public. Generally the
apartments are clustered next to or across the hall from each
other in an apartment complex. Typically each individual
rents his or her own apartment. Dungarvin Wisconsin
provides 24 hour staff support including budgeting, cooking and
assistance with maintaining their living situation within the community.
Community Based Residential
Facilities: These are 5-8 person homes
licensed by the state of Wisconsin. Typically, Dungarvin either
owns or rents the home. Dungarvin provides 24-hour support
in daily living skills, money management, health maintenance and
community interaction.
Day Services:
When a typical day service model does not
meet the needs of a person, Dungarvin will design individualized
services and supports. The staffing ratio is one staff for
each individual or one staff for two individuals. The
support generally focuses on assisting the person in transit to
community events and activities.
Drop-By:
Individuals who receive drop -by supports live in apartments available for rent by the
general public. Depending on his or her financial status, a
person shares an apartment or lives alone. Dungarvin
Wisconsin provides as little as 1 hour a week to 16+ hours a
day. The level of service and support depends on the needs
of the individual. Typical supports include money
management and access to community services.
In-Home:
Dungarvin will provide services and support for
an individual who lives with his or her family. The person
and the family design the level of support and service that is
needed.
Supportive Employment:
Dungarvin provides a gamut of supportive
employment services. We assist an individual with the
initial stages of the assessment period, job searching and
development, job coaching, and working independently.
