Homes Like Yours and Mine

Since 1949 TNC Community, has been providing respite care, habilitation and supportive services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) 24-hours a day, seven days a week. TNC works to continue to champion interdependent living, education and community inclusion for men and women with I/DD.

Those within our supportive care have been diagnosed with severe to profound I/DD. Half (53%) of individuals have a seizure disorder diagnosis. Two in five (38%) have received an Axis I diagnosis, such as a clinical diagnosis. Two in five individuals have been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (34%). Two in five (39%) have Dual Diagnosis, meaning they have a co-occurring intellectual and developmental disability. Two-thirds (70%) use some sort of ambulatory assistive device, such as a wheelchair or a walker. More than half (60%) have minimal speech.

We appreciate your willingness to garner support for the individuals who receive care from TNC Community.

We provide individuals the opportunity to achieve their goals in a safe and healthy environment in homes like yours and mine. TNC manages 12 locations that include a variety of group homes and Individual Supported Living settings nestled in neighborhoods across the Kansas City metropolitan area.

As it is the case with any home, there is always a constant need of upkeep and maintenance. We would enjoy the opportunity to host 10 volunteers for our beautification project, "Homes Like Yours and Mine."

The project would consist of the following tasks: dust light fixtures, clean window treatments, clean the tops and insides of kitchen cabinets and organize the pantry, wipe down counter tops, appliances and cabinet surfaces, wipe off knickknacks, surfaces, ceiling fans and baseboards, wipe down shelves, vacuum high traffic areas, sweep patio, porch and deck, organizing rooms of individuals (residents).
