Narrative

Mercy Centre has been providing services to adults with developmental disabilities for over 50 years. We now operate 4 programs that focus on Employment, Group Supported Employment, Community Based Day Supports and a Day Hab. 

The Employment Supports Program is for people seeking to find meaningful work in the community. 

Group Supported Employment Services are designed for people in the program who need supports at various supervised work-sites in the community. 

The Community Based Day Supports Services is an alternative to Employment Supports. This program is designed for people who choose to have work take a less important role in their lives. 

The Mercy Centre Day Habilitation Program offers an alternative model for people experiencing medical issues or those experiencing significant issues that limit their ability to be engaged in full day work activities. This program is funded by MassHealth.

These services are provided to residents in the Worcester County extended area. The State Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is the main funding agency.
