Group Home Gallery
We provide loving care in safe, affordable, accessible group home settings.
We serve families across the region who would otherwise fall through the cracks in our healthcare and social services systems because of the lack of affordable, safe care for loved ones with Developmental, Physical and Intellectual Disabilities.
Special Needs Cobb provides families with resources, respite options and residential group homes for life for individuals with IQs of less than 70, who cannot read or write. Our 23 group homes are situated in neighborhoods on SNC purchased land and staffed with contract Medicaid service providers
