Residential Services

Saint Francis & Saint Vincent offers a variety of residential options based on the needs of each individual and the programs that they are participating in.

  • On our main campus, we provide supportive group homes where residents benefit from a nurturing community environment while receiving individualized instruction, structured support, and access to therapy and educational services at St. Katharine Drexel School. This integrated approach ensures that students with academic deficits and emotional/behavioral challenges have the resources they need to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
