When school ends, what's next?
Just because school ends doesn't mean learning has to.
Shekinah is a place of life-long learning, independence skills, fiber arts, music, cooking together, and time outside every day. A place to feel whole and be seen for who you are and what you can be.
What we offer
Care for the whole day, in one place.
We build each client's day around them, their interests, their pace, and what they're working on.
Supported Community Connections
State-authorized SCC provider. Most SCC is funded by Medicaid (DD Waiver); we're also a Mill Levy provider for RMHS for additional hours.
Non-Medical Transport (NMT)
Safe, reliable rides to and from the program. We come to you so you don't miss a day.
Residential Services
Over a year and a half providing residential support, with low agency overhead so more funding reaches your loved one's care.
Fiber Arts & Life Skills
Weaving, loom knitting, felting, cooking, singing, social skills, and meaningful community outings.

Residential support, with more of the money going to care.
We've been providing residential support for adults with I/DD for over a year and a half. A lot of client funding gets eaten up by agency fees and overhead. We keep ours low so more of the state's reimbursement actually reaches the people doing the care.
Discuss Your Individual NeedsFamilies & professionals
Why families trust ElizaBeth.
We are truly fortunate to work with a power-duo who deeply understand and value the care of individuals with special needs. As providers, it's incredibly reassuring to know that our efforts are seen and our challenges acknowledged. You recognize the unique needs of each individual while also appreciating the dedication it takes to provide consistent and compassionate care. We are genuinely grateful.
ElizaBeth really sees (our adult daughter) as an individual, not as a diagnosis or a list of problematic behaviors. She has been an incredibly positive influence on (our daughter) and on us.
We feel extremely fortunate to have our son enrolled in the Shekinah Day Program. Their expertise, support, flexibility, and open communication have played a key role in our son thoroughly enjoying and growing through their program. Shekinah has made a world of difference for him and our entire family.
We have been attending for more than a year and love it. It's a very supportive environment that strives to meet each client where he/she is at. Lots of fun and stimulating activities. Can't recommend enough!!
