Students who are comfortable handling ADL's for self-care and are able to move around with minimal staff assistance.

Students who enjoy engaging with peers and are looking to grow in their independence.
Students who have graduated high school and are at least 18 years old.

1. Your family expresses interest by requesting information and a campus tour from our website inquiry form.
2. We'll reach out to you to schedule a tour and you will receive a pre-screening call from our Senior Prep Director.
