Welcome to Compassion Residence
Compassion Residence is a group home dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for vulnerable populations, including children, youth, and young adults. Our purpose is to empower individuals with developmental disabilities, mental health challenges, and behavioral challenges, ensuring they receive the care, support, and resources needed to thrive and transition into permanent care or independent living.
Who We Serve
At Compassion Residence, we provide services for:
- Children (10-17)– A safe, stable, and caring environment for children in need of temporary or long-term care.
- Young Adults (18-30) in the Transitional Age Youth (TAY) Program – A structured program designed to support young adults with disabilities as they transition into independent adulthood.
- Individuals with Developmental Disabilities, Mental Health Challenges & Behavioral Challenges – Many of our residents require specialized support as they navigate daily living, personal growth, and social integration.
Many of the individuals we serve are unable to remain in their family homes, making it essential for us to provide an environment where they feel secure, supported, and valued.
