We consider our facility a stepping stone to greater responsibility
and independence. Residents are encouraged to work to their highest potential, developing
the confidence it takes to step toward independent living. We offer a variety of
confidence-building programs and activities. Each resident brings his own talents,
interests and ultimately, expectations to Mount Aloysius. Some may enjoy cooking,
arts and crafts, sports or even gardening. No matter what their interest may be,
we foster their abilities to build practical, real-life skills.
We provide many opportunities for physical and intellectual development
and learning by challenging our residents both mentally and physically.
