The United Methodist Agency for the Retarded ("UMAR") is a not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to providing residential opportunities that allow developmentally disabled adults to live in their communities as independently as possible, in safe, accessible housing, with grace and dignity. Established in 1983, UMAR operates 20 group homes and 8 apartments across Western North Carolina from Hayesville to Greensboro.
UMAR homes typically house six residents differing in age, ethnic and religious background. Facilitating personal choice and respect for individual differences is our priority. UMAR commits itself to focusing on the aspects of daily living involved with the residents of our homes. The well-trained staff assists each resident with personal rehabilitation, family support, health and dental care, personal hygiene, access to community resources (banking, shopping, legal counsel), support groups, vocational coordination, social interaction, education and transportation. UMAR cares about the resident's lives and works to enhance their quality of life.
UMAR uses the following to express its mission:
To encourage independent living and provide quality of life care in community-based residential facilities for adults with developmental disabilities.

This organization has not offered MinistryWatch.com with an official statement or response for their profile. This area is meant as a mechanism for the profiled ministry to communicate anything they may choose. It is open ended as to the topic, issues, facts or news to address. It is not negative if there is no official statement as many don’t have anything to add than what is already on the profile. This section is not tied to transparency or to communication in general. Many very open and talkative ministries with us choose not to post an official statement. This section is just an open ended offering to the profiled ministry for anything extra to say as they may choose.
