Adult Services
MillarRich provides person centered, structured support to individuals by offering residential services, employment services, and day services within our Family Lifestyle Model. Our person centered approach empowers individuals to lead their best, most independent lives through individual driven care.
In the Family Lifestyle Model, contracted families (Family Lifestyle Teachers) provide services in their home to adults that have an intellectual or developmental disability as a primary diagnosis. We match individuals with their families based on preferences, interests, routines, and support needs. This helps ensure a stimulating, engaged lifestyle for the individuals supported and fosters long-lasting stability in those support relationships. We are proud of the service matches we have helped to create and build with an average contractor turnover rate of 11% since we opened our doors in 2008, and 8% in the last 5 years.
The success of the Family Lifestyle Model developed by MillarRich is very much dependent upon our fantastic family teachers and our talented administrative group. We attribute much of their success to the model’s foundation, wherein families develop consistent, and strong relationships with the individual(s) living in their home.
Our Family Lifestyle Teachers are paired with Lifestyle Coaches, who are equipped with a structured curriculum designed to ensure that Family Lifestyle Teachers are able to demonstrate important operational procedures. The Family Model Homes are also monitored in critical skill areas that are specific to each individual served in their home. Our coaching curriculum is designed to produce quality outcomes that are the heart of MillarRich.
