Mission Statement
We aim to provide the highest quality of care and service at The Ark House for all our residents and help them maintain a physically and mentally stimulating and enjoyable life style whilst they are in our care.

Description
The Ark House is a grassroots group home located in Northeast Columbus. It was founded in the 1970's, and it has remained a place of sanctuary, promoting inclusiveness and independence for differently-abled individuals.
It is suggested that this beautiful, historical home, built in 1857, was erected with the underground railroad in mind. There is evidence of a trap door and a tunnel, which once lead to a large barn on the property. The house sits on just under two acres.
In addition to five residents, The Ark House is also home to a flock of chickens, two rabbits, two cats, and all of the beautiful wildlife that have come to grace the yard.
With 24 hour support staff, our residents receive the highest level of care. The Ark House is a one-of-a-kind group home, with an emphasis on community and family.
Our residents have access to a garden, a pottery studio with a kiln, art supplies, musical instruments, and so much more. Our resident artist is always ready to teach a new medium. We aim to foster a creative environment. To find out more, reach out to us using the contact form below.
