Community Living Residences
Arizona MENTOR believes that a home environment is where people thrive. When they feel comfortable and safe at home—surrounded by people who care about them—they have greater opportunities to learn, grow and overcome challenges.
In our Community Living Residences, also known as group homes, two or more adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are carefully matched based on their needs, preferences and compatibility to live in our licensed, community-based homes.

Specially Trained Staff
When someone is ready to move into one of our residences, we take the time to understand what interests them as well as their unique strengths and abilities. Our homes are staffed with Direct Support Professionals and other human services staff who develop Individualized Service Plans (ISPs) to help each person progress toward their goals and succeed—whatever that means for them. We make sure that individuals move into homes suited for their unique needs and do our best to match them based on age, gender and level of care.
