Residential Services
Since 1995, GHO have been providing residential services dedicated to supporting adults with developmental disabilities in achieving independent living within their communities. Our focus is to empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives, regardless of disability-related challenges. We actively promote participation in person-centered goal development and community inclusion. Through these efforts, we strive to create meaningful opportunities for independence, social engagement, and personal growth.
IRA - 1 & 2
In 1995, GHO opened its first residential group homes, IRA 1 and IRA 2, welcoming seven residents into community‑based living environments.
The Residential group home continues to serve individuals with developmental disabilities to this day. For more than two decades, these homes have provided stability, compassion, and individualized support— empowering people to live full, meaningful lives in safe, supportive environments they proudly call home.

Through this continuous, compassionate support, GHO fosters safe, nurturing environments where individuals are empowered to live with dignity, stability, and greater independence within their communities.
IRA - 10 & 11
GHO continues its mission by serving more aging out individuals from residential schools through IRA 10 and IRA 11.
GHO encourages meaningful community activities and promotes full community inclusion, supporting individuals in building relationships, exploring interests, and living fulfilling lives. Our residential managers work closely with each individual’s Care Manager to seek the most appropriate day services based on personal interests, strengths, and functional levels.
