About the Providers
Russ Johnson began supporting individuals with disabilities at Central Virginia Training Center where he spent three years working with individuals with cognitive, behavioral, and social support needs. He then provided in-home care for adjudicated, teenage boys and foster care for five years before joining Wall Residences as a sponsored residential provider.
For seven years he supported adult males with cognitive behavioral and social support needs in his home. Through this experience he developed the knowledge, patience, and compassion need to provide high-quality residential services.
Nonnie has raised four sons and holds a bachelor of business administration degree. She served as a director of operations for an in-home healthcare agency and worked as a backup provider in supported living settings for Wall Residences. Her experience in family life, business management, and healthcare operations compliments Russ’s caregiving background.
After operating a small family business for more than 10 years, Russ and Nonnie are entering a new chapter as their sons establish lives of their own. They are excited to return to their shared passion for supporting individuals with cognitive, behavioral, and social support needs. With their combined experience, strong family values, and commitment to helping others, Russ and Nonnie look forward to providing a welcoming, supportive, and enriching home for the individuals they serve.
The couple remains active members of their community and value spending time with family and friends. They enjoy fishing, scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway, walking and biking local trickle trails, attending seasonal festivals, and exploring nearby communities.
About the Home
