Narrative

Mercy Centre has been providing services to adults with developmental disabilities for over 50 years. We now run 4 programs that focus on:

  • Employment
  • Group Supported Employment
  • Community Based Day Supports 
  • Day Hab

The Employment Supports Program is for people looking to find meaningful work in the community. 

Group Supported Employment Services are designed for people in the program who need supports at supervised work-sites in the community. 

The Community Based Day Supports Services is an alternative to Employment Supports. This program is for people who choose to have work take a less important role in their lives. 

The Mercy Centre Day Habilitation Program offers an alternative model for people with medical issues. Some people have major issues that limit their ability to be engaged in full day work activities. This program is funded by MassHealth.

These services are provided to people in the Worcester County extended area. The Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is the main funding agency.
