Midland Opens Two Apartments for Residents with Disabilities

Midland opens two new licensed supervised apartments as part of Midland's Community Residential Services program

The Midland Corporation Board of Trustees are proud to announce the opening of two new licensed supervised apartments as part of Midland’s Community Residential Services program for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The two new apartments, both located in Hillsborough, NJ will provide a home and support to four individuals. Midland’s Community Residential program is currently comprised of 7 group homes and now, 4 supervised apartments, to meet the growing demand for these types of services.

“The supervised apartment model furthers each person’s independence and truly is a catalyst for individuals to have control of their lives,” says Midland’s President and CEO, Shawn M. McInerney. “Through this continuum of services and supports, Midland’s goal is to provide authentic opportunities for each person to be an independent member of the community and exercise the tenets of self-direction.”
