Background

In 1968, long time area educator W.R. Rochelle, began the foundation for a nonprofit agency located in the heart of Nashville to offer supports for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These supports would enhance the skills necessary for these individuals to become as independent as possible as members of our communities. Today's Rochelle Center continues that Mission. The community based day programs provide a variety of experience that promote employment and participation in our community. Families and caregivers are comforted knowing that their loved ones are well cared for and engaged in a productive, active and safe supportive environment. Our programs currently include: Employment: Assist clients to focus on the development of individual and specific skills that will support them in pursuing and achieving employment. Community Day Program: Community integration is a main focus with day trips to area museums and volunteer opportunities. Individuals thrive in this atmosphere while enjoying activities, social interaction, community outings and special celebrations. Community Supported Living: Currently Rochelle Center provides Community Supported Living opportunities in nine residences in the Nashville area. With the assistance of Companions, individuals served develop skills of daily living and independence, while being active members of our community.
