Our Residential Programs

Target Homes

Our Target Homes in Carroll County are more than just living spaces—they’re nurturing communities. Each of our seven homes is carefully designed to serve as a supportive environment where:

  • Three adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities share a home.
  • Two live-in graduate student Community Living Managers provide 24/7 care, ensuring constant support and supervision.

This unique arrangement guarantees that every participant receives personalized, compassionate care while enjoying the structure and social benefits of community living.

Our Philosophy

At Target Community, our Target Homes provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We believe that a home is more than just a place to live—it’s a foundation for independence, growth, and meaningful connection.


What We Offer

Personalized Support:
Each Target Home is thoughtfully designed to accommodate individual needs. With dedicated live-in Community Living Managers and comprehensive 24/7 care, we provide support that fosters independence and enriches lives.

Community Integration:
Our approach emphasizes both in-home support and active community involvement. Residents engage with local activities, build relationships, and develop essential life skills in a welcoming environment.

Safe and Secure Living Environments:
While we celebrate the success of our Target Homes, we also maintain strict privacy and security measures. Specific home details and images are shared during a confidential consultation to protect our residents’ privacy.
