Parents of children with special needs share two concerns: How will our child function in society during adulthood and what will happen to our child when we are gone? These questions begin at the child's birth or at the moment the disability is first identified. As the child ages into adulthood, these concerns develop a truer sense of urgency.
St. Andrew's Village will blend the advantages of mainstream integration with those of a protected environment. By avoiding the bureaucratic and quality of life issues inherent in an "institutional setting," plans for St. Andrew's Village include vocational and life-skills training, recreational activities, religious services, a wellness center, and on-site and off-site job support. Because of its mixed use design, the non-disabled population will visit the St. Andrew's Village campus for shopping, dining, recreation, and other activities. Residents will then be able to interact with non-disabled persons while the community retains a level of control over the environment and the visiting population.
MISSION STATEMENT:
- To provide a loving, secure community where adults with all degrees of developmental disabilities can live, work, worship, and socialize throughout their lifelong journey;
- To foster individual independence and self-determination;
- To offer its residents meaningful employment with dignity and purpose;
- To attract and support a devoted group of caring staff, volunteers and friends whose hearts and minds are fully committed to our family mission;
- To nourish the spiritual and emotional growth of its residents, staff and friends; and
- To affirm the eternal value of all individuals with disabilities.
