Serving Adults with Developmental Disabilities

Promise Community Homes (PCH) is here to help answer “what’s next?” for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

In the St. Louis area alone, hundreds of people with disabilities are waiting to leave institutions, substandard housing, nursing homes, or the care of aging parents.

Want to help PCH support adults with IDD?

Enjoy a Night to Remember with PCH!

An elegant evening of meaningful connections, delightful entertainment, and shared purpose awaits! Amidst dinner, dancing, and creating memories, we honor the heart and dedication of those who champion our mission.

Her favorite part of the work? Building relationships that directly strengthen the lives of our residents. 💙

At 𝐏𝐂𝐇, homes aren’t just houses—they’re part of a neighborhood. Being a 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘣𝘰𝘳 isn’t just a holiday—it’s who we are every day. 🏡💙💛

One longtime South County neighbor joined a housewarming after fire repairs. He keeps an eye on the home, helps with yard work, shovels pathways, and enjoys friendly chats across the fence. 🌿👋 His kindness shows the power of neighborly care in action. 😊

💛 We’re proud every PCH home is part of a caring, connected community. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 to our residents, care partners, and neighbors who brighten every day! 🌞🏘️💙

Over 55 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. Adults with 𝐈𝐃𝐃—especially those with Down syndrome—face higher risks of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

This year, @alzdisint encourages everyone to #AskAboutAlzheimers and #AskAboutDementia—changing perceptions and normalizing conversations.

At 𝐏𝐂𝐇, we’re proud to provide forever homes where adults with IDD are thriving and living longer. But aging often brings new challenges, and signs of dementia can be less obvious. 🔍 Baseline evaluations (as early as the 30s) are crucial for spotting changes.

𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 from Promise Community Homes (𝐏𝐂𝐇)

On September 18, 2025, a former PCH employee was 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 after 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐳𝐳𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 from 𝐏𝐂𝐇 for 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞. We are deeply appreciative of the diligence and commitment to justice demonstrated by investigators, the prosecution, and the judge who oversaw this case and guided it to its conclusion.

Testimonials

My sister lived with our parents until our mom was unable to care for her anymore due to illness. At that time, the only place for my sister to live was in a habilitation center. I was referred to a support agency, and together we approached PCH (then called Rainbow Village) to find a community home for my sister and some roommates. Rainbow Village was able to find a great home in a safe community for the residents and her whole attitude has changed. I noticed that she smiles more and is able to do things we take for granted (i.e. can go to the kitchen and get food when she wants to). The home is great and beautifully maintained. The neighbors even comment that it is one of the best looking homes in the neighborhood. I am very pleased that my sister is provided a safe, comfortable and affordable home in the community for the rest of her life.

Sister of a PCH Resident

Promise Community Homes serves two constituent groups equally – both the disabled and their families. The homes provide the ability to live and belong in community, and thereby enrich the lives of its residents. In turn, providing a safe and happy place to live gives their loved ones peace of mind and freedom of their own. As someone with a developmentally disabled family member, I understand the substantial benefits. By supporting this organization, I’m helping to create and maintain the home and community environment that means so much to so many.

I just wanted to let you know that the move-in tour went very well. The family thought it was beautiful and there were even some tears involved. Thank you for providing beautiful homes for the people we support.
