Helton House currently has seven DD Waiver residential group homes. Our homes are licensed by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services. We provide training in the homes such as self-care, communication, independent living skills, behavior management, and community living skills. There is support provided in the area of transportation, medication administration, and accessing community resources. The programs are staffed by Direct Support Professionals who provide skill building and safety supports outlined in the individuals person-centered plan.

Our homes are set up like a traditional home. We make every effort to ensure that the individuals are comfortable and feel welcome in their community.  We encourage individuals to take ownership of their homes and make their living space their own.

The Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program is a day program for individuals diagnosed with a mental illness who require extensive support with forming/maintaining interpersonal relationships, coping with symptoms of mental illness, and/or health and medication awareness. Individuals are supported by trained, mental health professionals who utilize only evidenced-based, therapeutic approaches. Treatment approaches are based on the unique, individualized needs of each participating individual.
