The Manor has flourished over the years, and continues to grow today, currently providing residential services to a total of 27 women. An onsite day program called “My Day” was added to our services in 2000. The program opened with 8 attendees from the Manor residential program, and within three years had more than doubled the number of participants. Visit My Day’s page for more information.

The residential program has seen some notable developments over the past few years. In 1998, the Board of Directors, staff, stakeholders, residents and families formulated a five-year Strategic Plan that included the development of My Day and the construction of four new wheelchair-accessible homes onsite. At that time, 24 women were living in the two main buildings: Main House, the large three-story mansion which had been converted to contain 12 bedrooms on the second floor, and Carriage House, which also housed 12 residents on its first and second floors. As the women began to age, they found they had more and more difficulty managing the grand staircase at Main House, or the narrow one at Carriage House. Rather than lose these women to nursing homes when they were no longer able to climb the stairs safely, the Board and staff concluded wheelchair-accessible housing was a necessity for the women’ future.
