GVIEN-Inc.’s Residential program is compromised of Individualized Residential Alternative (IRA) apartments and houses in the New York State. The IRA program is fashioned to create a family setting for all residents with regard to individualized life goals, choices, culture, religion, family and relations, safety, protective oversights and clinical plans. Supervision and support from residential staff are provided based on needs of the individual. The program is available to individuals 18 and over who have a documented diagnosis of a developmental disability, who have Medicaid, and who are waiver eligible.

The Supervised Apartments provide individuals who are able to live more independently with the opportunity to do so. These individuals assume the responsibility for maintaining an apartment while receiving 24-hour supervision and daily support from staff. IRA’s is designed for people who do not routinely require on-site clinical services. All individuals residing in our IRA are encouraged to actively participate, along with their families, in the development of their program plan. Through this participation, individuals exercise the opportunity to shape their own futures by deciding what they would like and need to learn.
