Georgia Services
In 2015, Heritage House officially expanded operations to the state of Georgia, where we are licensed by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) to serve Region 4. As a rural area, Region 4 is sorely underserved and Heritage House is proud to provide much needed services, including residential, day services and transportation to individuals in that area. Since beginning our operations in Georgia, Heritage House has grown to serve a variety of individuals who thrive and grow through participation in our programming. Through dedicated staff and a person-centered approach, Heritage House has exceeded the expectations of individuals, their families, Support Coordinators and even State Officials.

At the heart of the campus is the Heritage House Activity Center, where individuals participate in meaningful activities that encourage personal growth, social connection, lifelong learning, and community involvement.
Volunteer opportunities play an important role in campus programming, allowing individuals to give back through community service while building skills, confidence, and valued social roles.
The Administrative and Education Building offers classroom space for pre-vocational training, educational programming, and skill development designed to support greater independence and community participation. Programs are tailored to each individual’s interests, strengths, and personal goals.
