Mission of Dignity Home
The mission of Dignity Home is to transform the lives of people with disabilities in the Zhytomyr region by providing them with love, hope, and the dignified life that every person deserves. The team believes that no one should have to live in an institutional care facility and therefore does everything possible to help people transition from residential institutions to family-based care, including guardianship, adoption, and supported living.
Areas of Activity
• Deinstitutionalization of residential care institutions. Placement of men and boys with disabilities from psychoneurological institutions into family-based care arrangements, including guardianship, adoption, and supported living.
• Supported living for people with disabilities. Provision of social and medical support, as well as daily assistance with household tasks and independent living.
• Socialization, adaptation, and community integration. The residents learn independent living skills every day and develop their potential in a safe and inclusive environment.
• Day care services for people with disabilities.
• Legal representation and legal assistance. Crisis counseling for families aimed at preventing people with disabilities from being placed in institutional care.
Dignity Home has created an environment where people who spent many years living in institutions have been given the opportunity to call this place their home. The experience of Dignity Home demonstrates that even after long-term institutionalization, people can:
• learn new skills
• work and contribute to society
• build friendships
• participate in community life
• make their own decisions
Dignity Home is open to cooperation with local communities, government authorities, partners, and everyone interested in advancing supported living services in Ukraine.
