Adult Overnight Respite

House of Possibilities (HOPe) provides a nurturing

community, meaningful opportunities and passionate
advocacy for individuals with disabilities. Founded in 2009
as a children's respite home on the campus of Stonehill
College, HOPe has grown to include adult day programs,
employment support, social & recreational programs,
autism support services and now adult respite services.

An overnight stay in our home-like facility provides

participants with the opportunity to socialize with peers and
build independence, and gives parents and guardians the chance to take a break and tend to
the health and well-being of themselves and the entire family.

Adult respite services are provided at our Easton respite facility, which features four bedrooms, a
chef’s kitchen, a fitness and recreation room, a library and resource room, and more. HOPe
serves over 300 families annually from 60+ communities across Massachusetts.
