Empowered Living. Personalized Care. A Place to Belong.

Maximum Support Services supports individuals with developmental disabilities in Alternative living units or Group home settings. MSSI residential services focus on the mission of Person-Centered Planning (PCP) by making sure that all individuals are being served by our agency in the way that they choose. The choice is a preferred preference, and Maximum Support Services will do all it takes to assist individuals with their wants.

Person-Centered Living

Each individual in our group home settings is supported through a PCP tailored specifically to their needs, desires, and goals. We believe in honoring each person’s preferences and choices, and we work hard to help them live the life they choose.

Group homes in Garrett County, Maryland exercise participants’ PCP that are individually designed to respond to the person’s needs and desires as well as to reflect an appreciation of the individual’s unique personality.

Whether it’s how they decorate their room, what meals they enjoy, or the activities they want to be part of, we make sure their voice is heard in every aspect of daily living.

Development Through Daily Life

Our residential services focus on more than just basic care, we prioritize personal development through everyday experiences. We work closely with individuals to help them:

  • Learn essential life skills like cooking, cleaning, and budgeting
  • Build self-confidence through decision-making and goal-setting
  • Develop strong social skills through peer interactions and structured activities
  • Grow emotionally and mentally through encouragement and support

Our team is always ready to support and adapt to the evolving goals of the people we serve.

Socialization & Community Involvement

Living in a group home means being part of a vibrant community both inside and outside the home. We encourage all residents to actively engage in:

  • Community events and recreational outings
  • Faith-based or cultural activities
  • Volunteer opportunities
  • Vocational training or day programs
  • Building friendships and peer connections

Teaching Through Encouragement

Maximum Support Services will assist in the development of the individuals that we serve by making sure that they get the necessary methods of teaching, socialization, and community involvement. Our team provides teaching and support methods that match each person’s learning style and pace. From hands-on guidance to gentle coaching, we help residents grow at their own speed while reinforcing independence and self-advocacy.
