Apply for ResidencyBecoming a member of Good Neighbor Village

Good Neighbor Village offers two types of residencies: full-time or respite care.

Full-time residential care is provided for adults over the age of 22 who have been diagnosed with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities. Respite services are offered for a total of 90 days in a calendar year or 21 consecutive days.

We understand that becoming a resident at Good Neighbor Village requires a period of adjustment for both the family and the resident. To prepare, we ask that all prospective residents spend two respite weekends with us, with arrival on Friday by at least 2:00 pm and pickup on Sunday afternoon/evening around 3:00pm. This allows the prospective residents and the staff at Good Neighbor Village to get to know one another. During this adjustment period, our staff and administration do their best to make the transition as seamless as possible.
