The individuals who live here are a mixed group of young adults and older folks who enjoy a combination of quiet relaxation and laid-back outings.

They enjoy personal attention and many benefit from hands-on assistance with personal hygiene and daily living skills.  Foggintown is a great place to work if you enjoy helping people with different abilities. Your contributions can have a huge impact and change lives in many different ways as you support people with everything from the simplest day-to-day tasks, to helping people realize life-long dreams!
