Our group homes provide a family atmosphere where four to eight individuals live together with 24-hour staff support. Each person has their own room, which they are encouraged to personalize. Open Door also utilizes a special dietician-directed meal program called My25. This program considers each person’s health requirements and encourages individuals to help with meal preparation. We also offer assistance for individuals seeking intermittent support. These services are for people who live in their own home or apartment but also need help every now and then. Our staff develops personal relationships with the individuals we serve and offers services in all aspects of everyday living. Open Door is focused on opening doors and developing opportunities for all of our clients. This means that we provide support in every aspect of life, assisting with personal care, doctor appointments, and medication management. Our clients also receive guidance on money management, personal shopping, and laundry assistance. The levels of support are uniquely designed around the specific needs of each person. Fun and recreation are also a big part of services at Open Door. We provide transportation to a wide variety of events and activities. Clients have the opportunity to attend sporting events, see concerts, visit museums, and take outings to local parks. We also have groups that attend dance classes, yoga, and open swim sessions. If an individual has an interest, we try our best to satisfy their need in order to promote independence, growth, and an exceptional quality of life for every person we serve.

Comprehensive Family Services is a mental health care company based out of 501 Prospect Ave, Beloit, Wisconsin, United States.

While all hospices in the U.S. are mandated by the federal government to provide certain services to terminally ill individuals, not all hospices are the same. We were one of the first hospices in the United States, and since 1979, thousands of families have turned to us for quality end of life care. We often hear from area physicians and nursing facilities we provide hospice care the way it should be done. What matters most to all families is whether we will take care of their loved ones in the best way possible. The answer is yes. That is our commitment to you.
