Walter and Angelo live in QCP's Groh Residence and are best buds. This is a photo of them taken at one of QCP's Fundraising Event at Terrace on the Park. They look after each other and enjoy community outings together. QCP opened Groh, our first residential facility in 1979 in Jamaica Estates. We now operate six Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs) and three Individual Residential Alternatives (IRAs), serving the needs of 78 adults with developmental disabilities. Each residence provides a safe home-like environment, where individuals can increase their daily living skills, relax after returning from daytime activities, and participate in recreational and social activities.
