Residential Program
Evergreen Homes feels that all individuals with intellectual or physical disabilities should receive the assistance needed in order to achieve the highest level of self sufficiency attainable. We offer a variety of services to assist individuals in achieving a self reliant living situation. We offer 15 different residential homes within Armstrong County which provide 24 hour in home assistance with trained staff available at all times to help individuals adapt and learn the vital skills needed to be able to live on their own. Each of our residential homes has only a 3-4 person occupancy per home with residents aged 18 and over and is adapted as needed for each individuals access.
