Each of us strives to reach our full potential

Especially when it comes to our quality of life. Nowhere is this goal more evident than with people who are developmentally and physically disabled; they face particularly difficult challenges on a dally basis. Even the simplest tasks become great achievements for people with special needs .

Mrs. Violet Woodhouse recognized these needs in her son Irving, who was born with cerebral palsy. Wanting to help her son reach his full potential, she started the Cerebral Palsy Adult Home Woodhouse in 1975. The purpose was to provide the attention needed to help people with developmental disabilities enjoy the highest quality of life possible. Since then, two new facilities have joined the family; Woodhouse II which opened in 1983 and the Truman Worden Training Center in 1995.

The board of directors and the staff at Woodhouse work toward assisting and encouraging each resident to develop his or her own particular strengths and interests and to achieve the highest level of independence possible. At Woodhouse each resident enjoys a normalized, warm and responsive family-like environment which respects and reflects an understanding of their individual differences and needs.

Woodhouse does not discriminate on the basis of race or; religion, sex, national origin, disability or familial status.
