GLENDALE HOME

Glendale Home began from humble beginnings in November 1966, by a group of concerned people who recognised the need for a home for the Jewish intellectually disabled. Various programmes have been developed in order to realise meaningful occupations for certain residents, while other centres allow each individual to reach their potential by focusing on their abilities in order to minimise their disabilities.
Glendale Home is proof that the intellectually disabled too can take their place proudly and justly, alongside all members of our community.
