Bay Cove partners with Growthways, Inc.

BAY COVE ENTERS INTO STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH GROWTHWAYS, INC., AN ESTABLISHED PROVIDER OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES IN SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS.

On July 1, 2020, Bay Cove Human Services entered into a partnership with Growthways Inc. of Brockton, a non- profit organization whose mission is to provide community integrated programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Growthways provides education, training, advocacy, and support services to adults with intellectual disabilities in the Greater Brockton area.

Agency leadership from Bay Cove and Growthways have worked together as valued colleagues for over three decades, and the two agencies share a similar approach of seeing and treating each person as an individual, and tailoring services that will assist them in having the best quality of life.

The agencies will work together to improve on their already exemplary service delivery, while strengthening systems and improving operational efficiency. Growthways’ longstanding commitment to, and outstanding reputation in, Southeast Massachusetts will enable the continuing growth of Bay Cove’s presence in this area of the state, while the resources and capacity that Bay Cove’s size brings to the partnership will enhance Growthways’ ability to expand services in the region.

Growthways has always been committed to providing high quality progressive supports in a home environment. The organization places a priority on educating and assisting not only individuals and their families, but also the surrounding community, so that the people we serve can live as independently as possible and be valued members of their community.

Programs offered by Growthways include Residential and Independent Living Programs, which support individuals in their homes, helping them to reach their full potential in the areas of skill development, community membership, relationships, health and self-advocacy; and Individual Support, which offers assistance with appointments, shopping, cooking, cleaning, social and recreational activities to people who live in their own homes, but who need support to remain independent.

We are excited about the opportunities afforded by this partnership, and are pleased to introduce Growthways to the Bay Cove community.
