the heart of what we do...
The purpose of the Heart of Georgia Developmental Disabilities Ministries (DDM), Inc., is to provide men and women with developmental disabilities the highest possible level of independent living according to individual ability.
For many, the potential is best reached when they are a part of the everyday life of a community, receiving training and support in a residence under the care of dedicated leaders.
DDM homes provide Christian family settings that offer individualized assistance to help residents develop self-help skills.
Training for residents covers many areas: personal care, communications, budgeting, banking, shopping, laundry, planning and preparing meals, housekeeping, social and recreational activities, and the opportunity to worship at a local church.
Residents receive day services at local centers for people with developmental disabilities or hold regular competitive employment, working and earning wages.
