Eden offers year-round, community-based residential services that promote the personal growth and independence of our participants.  Eden operates more than 25 group homes and apartments in central New Jersey. These residences generally serve two to six adults and employ staff who work rotating shifts 24/7, 365 days of the year.

Eden’s curriculum and philosophy of community integration allow the adults we support to experience opportunities for learning and engaging with peers on a daily basis. We encourage parents, guardians, and siblings to participate in the continued growth and development of their loved ones. Their support is vital to the success of the residential program.

Through our residential program, participants learn basic life skills such as cooking, laundry, cleaning and personal hygiene and are supported by highly-trained staff – both in group home setting and in the community. Direct support professionals (DSPs) assist with daily activities including driving participants to and from the day and employment program, shopping, recreational and leisure activities, and doctor appointments.

Residential staffing is based on a 2:1 participant to staff ratio and provides 24-hour supervision.
