At Shalom Retreat, we respect and accept each individual for who they are as a person and allow them to express themselves in their own way, through meaningful connections, interactions, and experiences. We work in a non-judgmental way to allow the individual to live in their lives on their own terms and maintain independence in which ever way that they deem meaningful.

Our disability support staff strive to work with complete honesty and integrity in everything that they do. This includes maintaining a calm working environment and providing the highest standard of quality care in line with the individuals supported independent living plan.
