The "Wings of Hope" Association operates five group residences, distributed across different locations. These residences include two in Sigulda, one in Spāre within the Cēsis municipality, one in the city of Cesis named "Cēsis," and another in the county of Mālpils named "Mālpils." These group houses serve as warm and nurturing homes for individuals with mental disabilities. While daily life can present its own set of challenges, the residents of these group houses do not require long-term institutionalized social care or rehabilitation. Instead, they benefit from a supportive environment that assists them in developing various life skills.
