Residential Group Homes
The Independent Living Services Department boasts of its four cozy group homes located here in Lake County. We have two basic Developmental Homes, one male and one female. We also have two Intensive Training Homes, both male and female.

Two homes are in the lovely wooded St. John community. Both homes were especially designed for the needs of the physically disabled individual. We have walk-in showers included with rails and bars to make each bathroom easily accessible for any home resident. These two homes are also equipped with wheelchair ramps, for easy access in and out of the home. The male home residency has a spacious deck looking out to the backyard, as well as a well-used basketball court. The female residency has a beautiful backyard vista overlooking acres and acres of farmland. Perfect for barbecues and summer enjoyment, as well as cross-country skiing.

No matter what the season families of deer frequent both homes.

In the town of Crown Point we have two Intensive Training Homes. The male home is nestled between lovely homes in a very nice community, located near area schools, parks, and St. Anthony’s Hospital. This home has a spacious family room, deck, and picnic area. The men also have a basketball net located in the driveway. The female residency is located on a large wooden lot, where they can enjoy a roomy deck overlooking the woodlands.



 

Each home has a staff of 10 individuals committed to accomplishing TradeWinds Rehabilitation Center’s mission. We are proud to serve the citizens of Lake County.
