Leaps & Bounds (Mason) is where many of our adult residents spend part of their day. It is set up to support individuals who require a high level of assistance, including those who are non-ambulatory and need hands-on care throughout the day.

Residents are supported in a structured setting with access to activities, meals, and designated areas for rest. Staff assist with positioning, mobility, and personal care as needed, while also helping residents remain engaged in their environment.

Programming is adapted to each individual. Some residents participate in sensory based activities, music, or group interaction, while others benefit from quieter, more individualized support. The focus is on maintaining comfort, supporting daily routines, and providing appropriate stimulation based on each person’s needs.

The building includes a range of spaces used throughout the day. Residents have access to a cinema room, common area for activities, and quieter spaces for relaxation. All areas are set up to accommodate wheelchairs and equipment, allowing staff to provide support safely while residents remain engaged in their surroundings.
