The holiday season is a time for family, togetherness, and reflection. For many families, this special time of year offers a rare opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones, reconnect, and observe how they’re doing. Often, these moments of togetherness bring joy, but they can also shine a light on new challenges a loved one may be facing.
If you’ve recently spent time with a loved one who has an intellectual or developmental disability and realized they may need more support than they currently have, you’re not alone. It can be difficult to see someone you care about struggling with daily tasks or feeling isolated. The good news is that Cedar Lake is here to help. For more than 50 years, we have been a trusted provider of services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and we offer a variety of options to support individuals and their families.
Comprehensive Services to Meet Diverse Needs
Cedar Lake provides a range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals and their families:
- Intermediate Care Facilities: Our ICF settings provide 24-hour support for individuals who need comprehensive care, focusing on their health, safety, and quality of life. This option offers peace of mind, knowing your loved one is receiving the care they need in a nurturing environment.
- Cedar Lake Residential: For individuals who value independence but still need some level of support, our apartment-style living, group homes, and staff residences are great solutions. Residents enjoy autonomy while benefiting from Cedar Lake’s dedicated staff who provide assistance as needed, ensuring a balance of freedom and support.
- Family Home Provider Program: This program matches individuals with a caring family that provides a safe and supportive home. It’s an excellent option for those who thrive in a family-style setting and benefit from one-on-one attention.
- Cedar Lake Enrichment Center: Our day training programs help individuals build skills, foster friendships, and engage in meaningful activities. These programs offer structured opportunities for personal growth and connection within the community.
