Helping Individuals Reach Their Highest Level of Independence

No matter the type of care you need, one thing remains constant: the desire for your loved one to live a life filled with joy, respect, dignity, and happiness. Our goal is to ensure they experience as much independence and fulfillment as possible, because every person, regardless of age or ability, deserves that.

To ensure the best outcomes for our clients, Group Effort conducts in-person evaluations with each family, where our team assesses the individual’s needs and goals. Our mission is to help every adult in our program receive the fullest benefits possible. We do this by crafting personalized support plans tailored to each person, rather than placing them into predefined categories.

At Group Effort, our staff promotes the highest level of independence for our clients. We strive to help them find their place in the community through employment opportunities and social engagement whenever possible. Our aim is for each client to experience a sense of fulfillment and self-worth through their unique contributions, whether that’s through work, volunteering, or simply enjoying meaningful time with family and friends.

Family Based Care Model

Group Effort is proud to offer a Family Model care solution for elderly or disabled adults who would benefit from living in a home environment outside of their family of origin. Think of this care option as an adult foster home. The family model is a long-term commitment from the caregiver and offers a stable home environment with 24/7 individualized care based on the needs of each person. The Family Model can be a one-on-one situation or in some cases living in a home with up to three roommates. The Family Model offers wonderful opportunities for individuals who want to experience independent living while still having access to the support services they need on a daily basis. Group Effort is pleased to be able to offer Family Based Care through private pay/insurance or through special programs offered by the Tennessee Department of Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (DIDD) or through the Home & Community Based Services (HCBS) initiative through Medicaid. Contact the Group Effort staff to learn more about the options that are available to you.
“I’ve been a Group Effort Family Care Provider for about a year and a half now and it means so much to me to be able to serve and care for the individuals I work with. I also love meeting new people, so being a caregiver is perfect for me. I love working with Group Effort because they really consider the needs of the family providers and the clients. They look at personalities and location and always try to place you with clients that will fit right in. I think what really sets Group Effort apart is their focus on meeting the need of each individual, progress toward their goals, and incorporating family interaction.”

"I wanted to message you both regarding Daniel’s help getting our son placed in a home. Our son was previously with SOAR, and we were not happy with all the false promises and the trouble we had with them caring for our son. We had spoken to Daniel in hopes he had something for him, but he didn’t at that time. He had remembered us and contacted us not long ago saying he finally had an opening and remembered Chase (our son). We went to visit and we immediately felt secure and confident that this was the place for Chase! Daniel spent quite a bit of time with us on the phone answering our questions and making sure we felt comfortable with the decision. Without Daniel, Chase would still be struggling and miserable. We feel that he now has a chance at life and can finally have the chance to grow as a person. Daniel is extremely professional and personable and also could commiserate with us about our son. He is passionate about his job and truly wants the best for our son like he would his own."
