This year, Cheshire Home II proudly celebrates 40 years of providing a true home for adults with physical disabilities. Since 1986, this special community in Parsippany has offered something unique: six apartments where residents live full, independent lives in a supportive and welcoming environment.
“I have been here for 27 of those 40 years, and during that time I have seen firsthand how this home, which is not an institution, but rather six apartments for adults who live full and independent lives, has served so many people well,” House Manager Tom Barrett said. “The residents here do not require nursing care, yet they benefit from a supportive environment, both physically and emotionally.”
Thanks to the generosity of supporters, Cheshire Home II has continued to grow and improve with upgrades including a new kitchen, bathroom, roof, parking lot, and front sidewalk. These improvements make a meaningful difference for the residents.
“For 40 years, Cheshire Home II has been a place of independence, dignity, and community,” Tom shared. “It is my sincere hope that long after I am gone, Cheshire Home II will continue to celebrate many more anniversaries and remain a place where individuals can enjoy the safety, comfort, and dignity of a true home environment while living independent and fulfilling lives.”
