Heart to Heart: A Legacy of Care and Innovation in I/DD Services

Welcome to Heart to Heart (H2H), an agency dedicated to serving individuals with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) since 2007. With a commitment to innovation and personalized care, we have grown from our roots in East Orange, NJ, to operate 30 residential group homes and supervised apartments across New Jersey and Philadelphia. Our comprehensive services include day programs and Individual Supports, both in our homes and yours, always prioritizing collaboration with families and support coordinators.

A History Rooted in Compassion and a Mission of Excellence

Founded in 2007, Heart to Heart began with a simple yet powerful mission: to provide exceptional care to individuals with I/DD in a way that fosters independence, creativity, and community connection. Our founders recognized a need for services that not only support basic care needs but also embrace each individual’s potential, celebrating their unique abilities. Over the years, Heart to Heart has grown, but our core values remain the same: Joyful Excellence, Heartfelt Devotion and Authentic Commitment.

Our Comprehensive Services: Meeting Diverse Needs

At Heart to Heart, we offer a range of services designed to meet the varying needs of the individuals we serve. Our residential group homes and supervised apartments provide a safe, supportive environment where residents can thrive. With 30 locations across New Jersey and Philadelphia, we’re committed to offering a home-like atmosphere where individuals can develop life skills, engage in meaningful activities, and enjoy the comfort of a caring community.

Our day programs are designed to foster social connections, enhance daily living skills, and provide engaging opportunities for personal growth. Whether through creative arts, recreational activities, or community outings, our programs aim to empower individuals to be active, involved members of their communities.

We also offer Individual Supports in the comfort of your home, providing personalized care that respects each person’s routines and preferences. This service allows us to bring our expertise directly to individuals and families, ensuring continuity of care in a familiar environment.

Innovation and Teamwork: The Heart of Our Approach

Heart to Heart is committed to embracing innovative approaches to care. We believe that fostering creativity and collaboration among our staff leads to better outcomes for the individuals we serve. Our team is trained in the latest care techniques, and we continuously explore new ways to enhance our services.

We also emphasize the importance of teamwork, not just within our agency but also with families, support coordinators, and other key partners. By working together, we create a cohesive support network that prioritizes each individual’s well-being.

A Client-Centered Approach to Care

At Heart to Heart, we place the individual at the center of everything we do. Our client-centered approach means we tailor our services to meet the specific needs, goals, and preferences of each person we support. Whether helping someone develop independent living skills, supporting social interactions, or providing specialized medical care, our focus is always on enhancing quality of life.

We take pride in our interactive, personalized relationships with clients and families, and our team is dedicated to making a positive impact every day. This commitment to individualized care ensures that each person feels heard, respected, and valued.

Community Involvement: Building Connections Beyond Our Walls

Heart to Heart is deeply committed to community involvement. We believe that individuals with I/DD deserve the opportunity to engage with their communities, participate in events, and build meaningful connections. Our programs are designed to promote social inclusion, and we work tirelessly to ensure that our clients are active members of the communities where they live.

Through partnerships, community outings, and special events, we strive to foster an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued. By building these connections, we help individuals gain a sense of belonging and purpose that extends far beyond our care settings.
