Empowering adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
(IDD) to live independently.
Individualized support.
Whole-person care.
Community that uplifts.
Emmaus Homes empowers adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live with independence, inclusion, and self-advocacy. We have provided faith-inspired, person-centered support in Missouri for more than 130 years—and we are just getting started.
At Emmaus, we believe
01
Every person is created in the image and likeness of God, has inherent dignity, and deserves respect.
02
People with intellectual and developmental disabilities deserve a life that honors their aspirations, desires, choices, and spiritual beliefs.
03
Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities should have a stable, reliable, skilled, and engaged support system that empowers them to thrive while preserving their well-being and dignity.
04
We are called to serve others with compassion, integrity, and purpose.
Too often, services for people with disabilities are underfunded and understaffed—but we are working to change that.
