Makor Care& Services Network

About

Women's League Community Residences, Inc., is a professional organization committed to the philosophy that every person, regardless of his/her level of ability, must be treated with the utmost dignity and respect accorded all human beings. It is our belief that every person with intellectual and developmental disabilities should be afforded the opportunity to maximize his/her functional, social and intellectual potential. This is accomplished through appropriate individualized programming, by living in as normal a home environment as possible. In addition, each person should be living in an atmosphere of acceptance, warmth, understanding, and security which upholds the rights of each individual and provides developmental opportunities on both individual and group bases.
