Its primary goal is construction of a eight-bedroom duplex respite home on a portion of property owned by the United Church of Christ in Norwell, that will enable individuals to stay overnight for a short term and in so doing allow them an opportunity to make new friends in a safe, caring and nurturing environment while providing their caregivers brief respite from their daily responsibilities.
Currently, an estimated 1,900 individuals age 18 and older live with their families in Friendship Home’s service area (from Milton to and including Cape Cod and surrounding communities). Respite care has been identified as the number one request of families caring for a developmentally disabled loved one.
