History
Forte Residential began as an entity in 1992 to provide residential services to a single individual, the son of the founders. In 1995, Forte expanded to provide family driven community based day services for the same individual. The benefit of “control in the hands of the family” was evidenced through the program's success. In response to other families inquiries, the grass roots initiative began to expand. Forte now serves over 100 Indiana residents from Indianapolis north to the Michigan State line under the Developmental Disabilities, Support Services and Autism Waivers.
Forte Residential is a licensed Personal Services Agency, providing services to recipients of the Aged and Disabled waiver. Forte seeks to elevate the family's role in the administration of active care.
Forte elevates the family's role in the administration of active care while providing training, support and full administrative services through local branch offices to assure quality. Forte Residential is accredited by The Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL).
Philosophy
The services of Forte Residential are founded on the belief that
individuals with disabilities are valued members of society and valuable
to God. Every individual, regardless of ability or disability, should
live with dignity, a positive social role, inclusion into the community,
self direction, and a feeling of self worth. Individuals who require
support are of great worth and should be held in high esteem. That God in the person of
Jesus Christ and through the Bible has established moral and ethical
truth, the basis for the conduct of all people.
Forte Residential seeks to provide the highest standards of quality services to people served by elevating the family's role in the administration of active care. The consumer and parent / legal guardian will be given as much control over significant issues related to their care as allowed by existing law and Forte Residential, Inc deems appropriate to assure the safety, well-being, and benefit of the consumer.
Mission
The mission of Forte Residential is to assist and support persons who are developmentally disabled or otherwise physically challenged through family driven initiatives to manage their own affairs in their own homes.
