In 1986, 13 individuals were accepted into Danforth Habilitation Residential Center.

DHA offers services from 24-hour/7-days a week care for individuals who need full-time nursing oversight, those who need 24-hour assistance with daily living routines, and others who live in the community. Our Association includes a new residential building, two assisted living homes and a separate Community Supports facility. Community Supports assist consumers with community integration and activities.
