Learn more about Mosaic: History of Mosaic in Terre Haute
Mosaic in Terre Haute began providing services in October 1987. The Dixie Bee and East Glenn group homes were the first to open, each serving eight adults with intellectual disabilities. Two years later, the Woodbine and Riley group homes opened and each served six children with intellectual disabilities.
In 1993, the Terre Haute agency began providing in-home Support Services to individuals who live with their families through the Medicaid Waiver Program. This program grew to include a Supported Living Program that assists individuals to live independently in their own homes and apartments in the community.
In 2011, Mosaic opened its Meaningful Day Program. The Meaningful Day Program is conducted out of the Mosaic office and is designed to teach individuals both daily living social, and community skills.
Activities in the day program include current events, domestic skills training, exercise, fitness, volunteering, community involvement and job training.
In 2014 Mosaic began offering a Wellness Coordination Program to the community. Our personalized medical coordination by our Registered Nurse Includes:
- Development of tailored, individual-focused Wellness Coordination Plans.
- Maintenance and routine monitoring of a participant’s Wellness Coordination Plan and the medical services required to manage his/her healthcare needs.
- Assessments, documentation reviews and face-to-face visits.
In 2016 Mosaic completed construction on a new 2,300 sq. ft duplex housing development for the six children currently served by Mosaic. This home has six bedrooms and a large yard for recreation. This home was built to replace the home in the Lakewood subdivision in Riley where the children previously resided.
