Supported Living

The Emmaus Staff is dedicated to assisting individuals in a home that they own, lease, or rent, either on their own or with family or housemates. Our focus is on helping them acquire, maintain, or enhance the skills needed to live more independently and actively engage in their community.

Special Needs Pooled Trust

The Emmaus Quality of Life Trust empowers individuals who receive social security disability benefits to save and plan for the future without jeopardizing their benefits. These funds are reserved to address the person’s additional and supplementary needs that are not met by government benefits.

The Emmaus mission calls us to share our lives with one another.

Every time we welcome a new resident at Emmaus, we commit to providing the highest quality of care to that person for the rest of his or her life. That means sharing meals, working together, holding celebrations, facing our challenges, and building friendships. We value the unique gifts that each of our residents brings to this Community.
