Eagle Valley Children's Home (EVCH)

The residential program focuses on providing ongoing evaluation, planning, 24-hour supervision, coordination, and integration of health or rehabilitative services to help 18 individuals with intellectual disabilities function as his/her greatest ability. Because the program is meant to be long term, achievements are measured by retention of residents as they continue to maintain their functional status. The average length of admission for residential program recipients is 19 years, with the shortest admission being 7 months and the longest admission being 55 years.

The respite program addresses the long-term, repetitive stress felt by caregivers of developmentally disabled people who reside in the family home. We provide support to families or primary caregivers of people with developmental disabilities through temporary, short-term care of the dependent person. The program currently has approximately 60 qualifying families receiving up to 30 hours of services per month, with annual goal of 9,500 service hours.
