HIT Incorporated

Residential ServicesHIT provides residential group home services, independent supports to people living in their own apartments and supports to families with family members living in their homes. All of these people have various developmental disabilities. The Organization operates fourteen group homes that are licensed to serve four to six individuals and in excess of 75 individuals living in their own apartments or at home with family members. Services provided at these sites are individualized to resident needs. The primary purpose is to provide an environment that is the least restrictive and yet gives support where needed. This gives the individual the opportunity to belong to the community around them in the most inclusive manner. Three homes serve children under the age of 21, ten homes serve adults and one home primarily serves retired individuals who will benefit from a 24 hour residential setting. The program in the retirement home is committed to assisting aging individuals in retaining a meaningful level of physical and mental health by developing interest and encouraging participation in activities.

Developmental Day Activity Program & Employment ServicesHIT's day programs provide individuals with a personalized program of achievement based on the individual's goals and objectives. The programs fall primarily into one of three areas - day activity, senior program and training center - and offer the flexibility of moving between the three areas as needs and desires dictate. The day programs operate from 9 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday and are headquartered out of the HIT administration building at 2640 Sunset Drive and 1007 18th St NW, Mandan. Work contracts, recreational and leisure activities and other programs are carried out throughout the communities of Bismarck and Mandan. The day program offers services to the public through West River Produce and West River Lawn Services. Employment Services provides job development, job placement and follow along services to assist individuals with disabilities acquire gainful employment. We assist the consumer with locating, obtaining, and maintaining employment in the community. There are two phases to our supported employment services: training and stabilization focusing on teaching job tasks and meeting other employment related requirements. Extended services are designed to provide the on-going support necessary to maintain employment after training and stabilization is completed.
