About The Company
Woodhaven is not an institution, we are a community. We are a team of real people, working together to help adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities succeed. We're passionate about our work. We are on a mission to change people's lives by empowering them to find and achieve success on their own terms. Our work is not about doing things for the people we support, but about giving them the opportunity to do things for themselves, while maintaining a safe environment where they can thrive. Community Living: At Woodhaven, home is not just a place to sleep at night. It is a refuge of comfort and a reflection of individuality. The adults we serve live in more than 40 traditional and accessible homes and apartments scattered across Mid-Missouri. Our Community Living program provides support and assistance so that individuals served can live independent fulfilling lives as active members of the community they love. Community Connections: Weekdays from 9 am to 3 pm, we help adults with development disabilities who do not work during the day get involved with volunteering opportunities and activities throughout the community. They build their skills, access local events and explore new places while developing relationships with their fellow community members. Through our Community Connections program, the adults we support aid Woodhaven in working towards dramatically changing the public perception of people with developmental disabilities.
