Explore Amy’s powerful journey from isolation to community at home with Emmaus. After facing limited support in a nursing home, Amy found renewed joy and independence at Emmaus, where a dedicated team offers her the support she deserves. Watch as her family and staff highlight her transformation—from finding purpose in simple joys like coloring and karaoke to experiencing genuine belonging in a place she calls home.
Your support can make a real difference. Your contribution helps Emmaus continue the vital work of providing independence, dignity, and joy to the over 200 individuals we support like Amy.
At Emmaus, we know that the people we support want to be independent.
In order to do that, they need a community that embraces their unique abilities.
For more than 125 years, as a faith-based organization, we have provided quality services, caring for the whole person for their whole life.
