Community Residences

Helping Children and Youth Learn, Live and Participate in the Community

Community-based homes blend seamlessly into neighborhoods throughout southern New Jersey where children and young adults can live more independently while continuing to build upon the necessary life, social and cognitive skills they have developed.

Socialization and Independence

The Community Residential Program incorporates a focus on each child’s development and is integrated with the educational curriculum at The Bancroft School. Activity and social engagement are critical elements to empowering each child to achieve a higher degree of independence. Transportation is provided to school and to organized recreation and social activities.

Integrated Living, Learning and Fun

Students live in well-maintained, single-family homes where they participate in meal preparation, daily chores, and caring for themselves and their belongings. Staff supervision is in place 24/7 in a safe and comfortable home environment where they get to engage with peers and the community. Each student has his or her own room — a space to call their own.
