The Group Home is licensed by the Virginia Department of Social Services as a Residential Group Home.  

Since the Group Home is residential, we have only high functioning, intellectually challenged adults.  We have all required federal, state and local  licenses. Northwestern Community Services provides mental health services for SEARCH residents if needed.  

 
To be accepted into our Group Home, a person must be intellectually challenged, be ambulatory, independent in self care, and be age 18 or older. Both private and public pay residents are accepted. 

All residents participate in a day program to help them reach their potential. Residency includes a private room, all meals, program activities, transportation, and staff support.

Residential Aides are present in the Group Home or with the residents on activities at all times to provide supervision, support and understanding. Our residents are escorted to doctor's appointments, worship services, dinners, dances and other activities.  

Short vacations and/or day trips are arranged for the residents each year.

 

SEARCH is proud to provide a safe, comfortable, and happy home environment for special needs residents.
