Independent living, with people who care.
A different kind of home for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Wichita, Kansas.
Golden Grace is a residential mentorship community for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, founded and based in Wichita, Kansas. We provide a real home — not a facility — where residents live alongside trained mentors who walk with them, day-to-day, as they grow.
Our work is built on a simple conviction: adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities deserve the same things the rest of us do — a front door of their own, a job that matters, friends who know their name, and a life of purpose. We help make that possible through coaching in vocational, recreational, daily living, and community integration skills.
We are small on purpose. Two residents, two mentors, one home. Deep relationships over scale.
Every resident is treated as the adult they are.
Real skills, built one day at a time.
Rooted in a real Wichita neighborhood.
Work, friendship, contribution, joy.
Residents share a private home with trained mentors who provide 1:1 coaching in the rhythm of ordinary life — cooking dinner, getting to work, calling a friend, making a plan for Saturday.
placeholder Two residents and two mentors share a four-bedroom home, providing 1:1 coaching support within a real community living environment.
Finding work that fits — résumés, interviews, the bus route, the first-day nerves, the long arc of building a career.
A full life outside of work — hobbies, friendships, faith, fitness, the small joys of a Friday night.
The skills of running a home — cooking, cleaning, money, medication, the steady habits of an adult life.
Belonging to a real place — the neighborhood, the church, the coffee shop, the people who notice when you're not there.
Golden Grace was founded by two friends who believe adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities deserve more than a placement — they deserve a home.
Placeholder bio. Blaise brings years of direct-support and program leadership experience to Golden Grace. He believes the best coaching happens around a kitchen table, not in a conference room — and that the measure of a home is the people in it.
