Horizons is one of Rural Hall’s largest employers and employs over 130 staff at any given time.  We offer a comprehensive benefits package and competitive pay for people seeking employment opportunities.  Please apply today by clicking here.

Horizons provides a home for 40 people, both male and female, children and adults.  We specialize in supporting people with complex needs (medical, physical, environmental, and educational).  We are dedicated to maximizing our environment to be conducive to the needs of the people who live in the residences.  We serve people from all over North Carolina, who have limited access to living environments that provide for their support needs.  More than half of the people living at Horizons are from the local Forsyth and Triad communities.

We welcome all kinds of visitation from families and friends, to outside groups and individuals.  If you are a parent/guardian or family member, please reach out to the Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professional of your loved one to schedule a time or ask for the Director of Clinical Operations in their absence.  All others should contact the main number at 336-767-2411 and ask to speak to the Director of Resource Development and Communications.

Families are encouraged to remain an integral part of their loved ones life.  We rely on a system of natural and paid for supports to create a uniquely desired life for each person.  The involvement of family and friends is critical to attaining the goal of desirable living for all.  Families can visit during awake hours and reserve up to 60 therapeutic days per year to bring their loved one home overnight.  Frequent day trips and on-site visits are also encouraged, which do not count against the 60 therapeutic leave days.  We offer a family room at the Atrium for private visitation.

Everyone who lives at Horizons residence is supported through State and Federal Medicaid program funds.  Families do not incur costs for residential services, but may choose to contribute through donations or materials contributions to the program.  Families may be asked to pay for personal items that are chosen as a preference over residence-based product offerings.

Our needs are ever changing with the needs and desires of our residents and staff.  Currently, we appreciate any financial contributions, offerings of time to volunteer (individual or group; one-time or recurring), and promotion of our organizations mission and vision through all forms of media.  Please reach out today to ask about how to get involved or check out our current Amazon wish list for gift giving ideas.

Currently, our wait list for a residence vacancy is between 2-3 years.  We continue to accept applications and prioritize members with unsafe or unstable housing situations and complex care needs.

Horizons offers a day program for residents who are over the age of 22 and have aged out of the school program.  We do not offer a day program for members living outside of Horizons.

We do offer a weekend respite program for individuals with disabilities living outside of Horizons.  Please click here to find out more.

Please reach out to us today via email, phone, or by filling out our online form. Our Director of Resource Development and Communications is available to help you navigate how to support Horizons Residential Care Center (provide email).  We know at Horizons that each day we have the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life and we look forward to sharing that opportunity with you.
