Newark Resident Homes, Inc. has been providing services to individuals with developmental disabilities since June 5th 1974.
Our goal is to support individuals in their homes and in the community to reach their full potential. We choose to focus on one’s abilities versus disabilities and promote independence with daily living skills as well as self advocacy. We pride ourselves in providing a level of care that we would expect from someone providing the same type of care to our own “most important person”.
Newark Resident Homes, Inc. works closely with the Licking County Board of Developmental Disabilities to create a person centered plan that will assist all individuals in reaching their goals. We discuss what is most important TO and FOR the individual being supported working to find the best balance possible.
Newark Resident Homes Inc. is governed by a Board of Trustees that volunteer their time to our agency, the individuals it serves and the people it employs. Out Executive Director has been committed to the agency for over twenty years. The Associate Director and Program Managers have well over 70 years of combined experience. Each member of management began their employment in direct care. Each having “worked their way up” by way of hard work, dedication and committment to each individual that they provide support to.
Stafff receive annual training to keep their skills sharp and up to date. Members of management attend a number of continuing education classes and seminars and are always excited to bring back new information that is then passed down to direct care staff. In addition to staff trained in accordance with the Ohio Department of Disability standards, we work closely with a number of skilled nursing agencies and physicians’s offices to ensure that physical as well as mental health and wellness needs are met.
