Residential Services
The Residential Program
has been in operation since 1975, and is licensed by the State
Department of Developmental Disabilities. The Residential Program
serves clients ranging from the moderately functioning to the
profoundly disabled, providing 24-hour care and supervision.
Residents enjoy an active social calendar and receive any individual
support they need in all areas of daily living skills. Community
outings for clients are arranged with supervision ranging from
complete to small groups with supervision, to the buddy system with no
supervision.
Gateway Center is
not a medical facility, but the health and general well being of our
consumers is a primary concern.
