Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Human Services, Residential Care & Adult Day Programs
Mission: Visitation Home is a Catholic community (open to all) where people with developmental disabilities and those without, live together as family, called by the truth of the Gospel principle that human life is sacred at every stage and in every situation. We recognize our responsibility to grow in a spirit of openness, simplicity, and love through meaningful relationships. It is through these relationships that we discover each other's gifts and the inherent dignity of each individual.
Results:
Target demographics: New Jersey has a waiting list exceeding 6,300 people in need of community-based living (Trenton Times, April 30, 2001). Visitation Home is our response to Jean Vanier's (founder of L'arche Communities) vision of a community in which people with disabilities can begin to discover that "they have a value and they are loved and so loveable." After hearing about our plans for Visitation Home, a father of a developmentally disabled child said, "Up until now, every time I thought about my son's future, it was always with worry. For the first time, I can think about it with hope."
