Services for People with Intellectual DisabilitiesDeer Park Villa Inc.Deer Park Villa is committed to enhancing the quality of life and reaching the full potential for people with intellectual disabilities within Ituna and surrounding area. In 1995 we expanded our residential service by opening a three person group home and also developed our own Day Program in response to fatigue being displayed by some of our frailer clients. Since that time we have also provided respite, Supported Employment, Supported Living, job coaching and opened a third group home as different needs arose in our community and area. The Day Program moved into a newly renovated larger area in 1999 and in 2005 we completed an apartment project. We make a conscious effort to spend locally as the Town and RM have been very supportive of our efforts. Since 2006 we have purchased two homes better suited to the needs of our residents and in 2009 we support twelve residents living in three homes and four people living in Supported Apartment spaces. Some clients have moved into employment in the community while others are now retired seniors. Developmental, life skills, life supports, and vocational programs are supplied to up to twenty clients. About half our staff are now full time with a total dedicated staff of just over thirty. By providing services for people with intellectual disabilities, Deer Park Villa provides services for the community of Ituna as well. At present 19 participants are served by a trained and capable staff of 33, and directed by a volunteer board. As of July 2011, Deer Park Villa is actively seeking new employees. Please contact the Executive Office Administrator for further information. Deer Park Villa currently has job postings for a Direct Service Worker and Direct Support Workers For further information on persons with intellectual disabilities: |
