CHIARA CASA

Chiara House 2.jpg

Chiara Home, Inc. fue fundada en 1993 por la hermana Gretchen Clark y la hermana Sharon Dillon. Estas dos mujeres son miembros de la comunidad religiosa, las Hermanas de San José, Tercera Orden de San Francisco. Chiara Home comenzó como cuidado infantil ocasional para niños con necesidades especiales en el hogar de las hermanas. A medida que se corrió la voz, se volvieron   conscientes de la necesidad crítica de cuidado de relevo que estaba presente en la comunidad. Chiara Home fue fundado en el 800 aniversario de la muerte de una santa franciscana, Clara de Asís. Santa Clara es conocida por su cuidado de los marginados. el nombre Clare en italiano es "Chiara" (clave SON uh).

Así, el nombre Chiara Home.

HOMELIKE ENVIRONMENT

Chiara Home Strives to be as non-institutional as possible, both in terms of the physical appearance of the house itself, which is located in a residential neighborhood and in the high level of interaction between guests and staff. Chiara Home, for many is a home away from home, a safe place with quality care as well as a place warmth and total acceptance. 

CARE FOR ALL 

Chiara Home provides care for all individuals with special needs of all age groups without regard to race, culture, religion, sex, or disability. 

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Chiara Home provides both in-home and community-based recreational activities for guests to enjoy. In this way, appropriate social and behavioral skills, normal living activities, and self-confidence are reinforced. These activities also provide for enhanced quality of life for many guests, who due to financial limitations, lack of transportation, or supportive assistance would otherwise be unable to enjoy.

COMMITMENT TO SERVICE

While Chiara Home is private pay, if space is available, Chiara never turns away any family for an inability to pay our minimal service fee.
