Services

“The founders of Welcome House and West Haven, the Steudel Family, had envisioned that persons with DD could live in group homes or family style homes that replicated as close as possible the kind of living that they were used to growing up.”

Welcome House provides comprehensive support services for adults (ages 18+) with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Cuyahoga County. Our mission is to empower individuals by promoting independence, enhancing quality of life, and ensuring access to person-centered care.

We offer a range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual:

  • Homemaker Personal Care (HPC) & Routine Transportation – Assisting individuals with daily living activities such as personal hygiene, meal preparation, household tasks, and community access to support independence in their homes.
  • Adult Day Services (ADS) – Providing structured, community-based programs that promote social engagement, skill-building, and meaningful daily activities.
  • Non-Medical Transportation (NMT) – Ensuring reliable transportation to employment, day programs, and community activities to promote accessibility and inclusion.
  • Shared Living – Matching individuals with dedicated caregivers in a family-style setting to foster long-term relationships, stability, and individualized support.
  • Respite Services – Offering temporary, high-quality support for individuals to provide relief for primary caregivers while ensuring continuity of care.

Welcome House serves adults (18+) with a broad spectrum of support needs, including those with Down syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Fragile X syndrome, co-occurring psychiatric conditions, physical disabilities, and complex medical needs. Our approach aligns with Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) best practices, emphasizing person-centered planning, community integration, and dignity of choice.
