DID YOU KNOW?
In Missouri, there are 750 adults on the residential provider waitlist. They meet state requirements to receive 24/7 care, but are unable to access this support because there aren’t enough homes.
Critical daytime support ends at age 21, putting an enormous strain on families and further isolating adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Aging parents are often primary caregivers, left alone to navigate this complex system, despite their own needs as they age.
With the contributions of many people — financial partners, our Core Members and staff, those attending our daytime programs, our Board of Directors and Campaign Committee, and an extended community of friends and supporters — L’Arche St. Louis is prepared to respond.
