Turning Point Inc

North shore residential - our comprehensive approach to supporting 77 individuals in 17 residental programs includes a full complement of clinical, medical and supportive services catered to each person's needs. Our individuals are encouraged to be as independent as possible and to be a positive integral part of the communities they live in. Direct support staff guide and assist as needed depending on the level of disability involved with each individual we support. Some of these individuals present new challenges around their increased medical needs as they begin to age in place. We also have adjusted our models to work even more effectively with those individuals, who are being referred to us, the "turning 22" individuals who have many behavioral challenges.
