JRS Mission Statement
Jewish Residential Services provides residential and rehabilitative services to people who need support in their everyday lives because of psychiatric or developmental disabilities. JRS helps people learning to live with long-term disabilities to establish dignified, stable, productive and satisfying lives for themselves as members of the JRS community, their families and of the greater community. JRS offers a culturally rich, Jewish environment which is welcoming to people of all backgrounds and which encourages participants to build upon their strengths and grow to their fullest potential.
