Providing Quality Housing and Support for People with Developmental Disabilities
The Community Living Program at Michael Dunn Center offers individuals with developmental disabilities safe, high-quality housing in welcoming community settings. Our dedicated staff ensures residents enjoy a secure and supportive environment that empowers them to make their own choices and lead fulfilling lives.
An important feature of each Residential Habilitation home is that each home is located in different subdivisions in the Roane County area. There is nothing that excludes any resident of a Residential Habilitation home from being part of their community. Michael Dunn Center makes it a primary objective to buy homes that are very much a part of their communities and neighborhoods when selecting home sites for Residential Services.
Special needs for each individual served are monitored and addressed appropriately by the Health Services Department at Michael Dunn Center. Appropriate medical care, therapy, treatment and other support services are provided proactively to strive for optimal level of health so that each individual can have opportunities and make choices for their own lives.
An Engaged and Independent Lifestyle
Residents of MDC homes actively participate in daily life beyond their homes—whether through employment opportunities, community involvement, or recreational activities. Despite challenges, our residents embrace life to the fullest, enjoying experiences ranging from weekend concerts and beach trips to vacations at Disney World and even Paris, France.
A True Community Presence
Each MDC home is strategically located within different subdivisions throughout Roane County, ensuring that our residents live in neighborhoods that foster inclusion and connection. Our commitment to community integration allows individuals to feel at home in a supportive and familiar environment.
Comprehensive Health and Wellness Support
