Misericordia offers care that maximizes potential for persons with mild to profound developmental disabilities, many of whom are also physically challenged. By serving society’s most vulnerable citizens, Misericordia also serves the families who want the best for them, but cannot provide it at home.
Misericordia sits on a 31-acre Chicago campus and has a wide variety of programs, serving more than 600 children and adults from diverse racial, religious and socio-economic backgrounds. Twenty percent of its residents either come from poverty or are wards of the State.
Misericordia’s mission is to support individuals with developmental disabilities in maximizing their level of independence within an environment that fosters spirituality, dignity, respect and enhancement of quality of life, according to its website.
