Enabling Residences

 Bjorklund House


Opened in 1994, Bjorklund House is home to 16 adults with developmental disabilities. A 24-hour staff encourages residents to achieve their maximum level of independence in the group setting. From doing their laundry and helping with meals, to grocery shopping, using public transportation or holding a job in the community, residents experience the satisfaction of daily strides in their growth toward independence.

Independence Place


Just two blocks from Bjorklund House, Independence Place offers an even higher level of independence to its eight residents.

Residents' apartments are complete with their own bathroom and kitchen. Staff members are on site 24 hours a day to offer support and encouragement as residents walk the path to self-sufficiency. All residents are employed in the local community or participate in a Topday program.
