When you think of a group home or staffed residence, what comes to mind? For Laura and Karen, it’s where they laugh together, support each other, and build the kind of everyday routines that make life feel full.
From the outside, their home looks like any other in the neighborhood. But step inside, and you’ll find two women who are living life in a way that reflects who they are and what matters to them. They share meals and daily routines, and their friendship turns ordinary moments into something meaningful.
In the video below, Laura shares how she’s building the life she wants. With a very clear vision of what independence means to her, she’s taking intentional steps to get there. Like learning how to cook her own meals, clean and take care of other household tasks. Each new skill is a step towards the future she’s planning for herself.
Karen talks about what it’s like to share a home with someone you care about. Whether they’re out shopping or visiting a local garden full of blooming roses, she and Laura have built something special. It’s not just about living under the same roof—it’s about treating each other with respect, helping one another, and creating a space that feels like family.
Take a moment to meet Laura and Karen. Their story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when a home is filled with choice, support, and real connection.
