Balance’s Adult Family Homes offer family-style living for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

Balance owns eight Adult Family Homes (AFH) across Ozaukee County in Wisconsin. Balance currently has houses in Grafton, Saukville, and Port Washington. These homes are 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes that function like tightly knit families but offer 24/7 staff supervision for the residents. Each resident has a private bedroom and shared living spaces just as a family does.

The goal of Balance’s Adult Family Homes is to create and maintain a home-like, family environment for adults with IDD. Balance creates an Individual Support Plan (ISP) around personal goals by working collaboratively with each resident, their family, and support teams.

Our residents are involved in determining their daily lives. This includes their social connections, meals, daily living skills, wellness, health, recreation, leisure, personal goals, and safety.

Residents who are not employed will typically spend their weekdays at Balance’s Adult Day Program from 8:30 am - 3:30 pm. The Day Program provides participants with daily activities and outings into the community while also providing time to socialize with their friends, peers, and staff. More information about Balance’s Adult Day Program can be found here.

Balance’s approach and success come from first understanding the individual’s abilities, dreams, desires, and needs. We create services to support them in all specific areas of need. We also work to enhance the community’s ability to embrace these individuals and recognize them as full, valued, contributing members of the community.

Balance strives to balance support and independence to best meet the needs of each resident.
