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 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.
