Mission Road Development Center is a facility in San Antonio, Texas that provides residential care for adults diagnosed with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). The center has multiple programs including 12 Home and Community Services (HCS) adult group homes, four Intermediate Care Facility (ICF) adult group homes, and four Deaf/Blind/Multiple Disabilities (DBMD) adult group homes. These residences are located throughout the city of San Antonio, as well as on the center’s main campus in south San Antonio. Each home is staffed with well-trained, 24-hour AWAKE caregivers who assist residents with daily activities and support their individual needs.
Residents of Mission Road Development Center’s community homes are engaged in a variety of activities throughout the week, including job training, volunteering, and social/habilitation programs. The center aims to help residents acquire the skills needed to live more independently and lead fulfilled lives. Weekends are filled with recreational activities, shopping, chores, and spending time with friends. The Texas Health & Human Services Commission monitors and licenses the group homes, ensuring that residents receive high-quality care and support.
In addition to residential care, Mission Road Development Center also offers support for individuals looking to access IDD services for their loved ones. The center works with AACOG (Alamo Area Council of Governments) to screen and assess potential clients to determine eligibility for services. Prospective clients can fill out an interest form on the center's website, and a program director will reach out to discuss available programs and supports. The center’s mission is to provide a nurturing and inclusive environment where individuals with IDD can thrive and reach their full potential.
