AID and GoodSearch
Supporters of The Association for persons with Intellectual Disabilities (AID) are revolutionizing charitable giving – turning their every day actions into ways of supporting programs for individuals with developmental disabilities. How?  By using GoodSearch.com and GoodShop.com.  GoodShop.com works with more than 3,000 top online retailers including Toys “R” Us, Target, Best Buy, Apple, Sephora, Macy’s, 1-800-Flowers, PetSmart, and Expedia among others.  The shopping experience and prices are the same as going to the retailer directly, but each time you shop at one of these stores via GoodShop, a percentage of what you spend goes back to your favorite charity or school.

Regency Management provides housing facilities, programs and services specifically designed to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. Our purpose is to meet their physical, social, and psychological needs, and to promote their health, security, and happiness. Regency apartments enable adults with disabilities the ability to enjoy the independence of having a home of their own, located near family and friends. The charges for such facilities and services to be predicated upon the provision, maintenance, and operation thereof on a not-for-profit basis.100_1432_web

It is a supported living program which provides support to primarily independent persons with the help of case management and home living skills. The goal is to promote their independence and self-reliance; therefore, staff members are present at the facility on a planned basis to offer assistance and support.

Support staff are available to assist with cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and personal hygiene. Depending on the personal needs of the individual, some staff members also teach skills in cooking, nutrition, and money management.

In addition, residents are encouraged to create friendships by participating in community activities, both in and out of the residence. Staff members plan monthly activities in the community room for the residents, such as game nights, arts and crafts, exercise activities, reading groups, and movie nights.

Residents are allowed to furnish and decorate their apartments, making their homes more comfortable, functional, and personal.

If you or a family member are interested in moving to a semi-independent housing facility, contact us! We can also assist you in navigating the necessary paperwork required by DMH or other state requirements.
