Cardinal Hayes Home for Children  
is a not-for-profit agency pro­viding residential care and treatment for young people who are  developmentally disabled. CHHC is sponsored by the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary. Children of all races, creeds and socio-economic backgrounds are equally considered for admission. Our agency accepts ambulatory and non-ambulatory young people who function in the moderate to profound range of mental retardation. The individuals in our care are multi-handicapped. Some have a diagnosis of autism, others have cerebral palsy, epilepsy or neurological impairment. Our nursing staff and direct care workers have considerable experience in the care of medically fragile children. There are one hundred ten young people in our residential programs.
