Alhambra House, Florida
Alhambra House, Boca Raton, FL.
Alhambra House, dedicated and officially opened on May 31st, 1997, is home to six men and women with developmental disabilities and two full-time assistants for whom this is also home. Together they form a Community based on the Gospel values of living in gratitude for one another and in reconciliation with one another and with the broader community.
This is the second of the Nazareth Homes, each within walking distance of one another in this southeast Florida community. All six residents go to work M-F. At home they take turns assisting with cooking, laundry, and cleaning. Each evening the Community gathers in a short prayer, bringing together the concerns of the day, and reasons for celebration. Evenings and weekends, friends visit the home, frequently inviting the residents out.
Volunteers (full-time or part-time) are gifts to the Community.
Plans are to open a third home when funds are available.
