About St. Mary's
“Home” is in Our Name

A visit to St. Mary’s Home for Disabled Children clearly shows that “Home” is in our name for a very good reason. St. Mary’s is the only pediatric long-term care residential facility of its kind in Virginia for children with severe disabilities. We offer a comprehensive range of residential, medical, therapeutic, educational and recreational services for children from birth to age 21.

St. Mary’s provides a level of around-the-clock, complex care that would be very difficult to achieve in a home setting, regardless of the resources and capabilities of parents. The design and specialized features of the new facility opened in 2005 are enhancing our ability to provide care in a comfortable atmosphere of warmth, nurturing and personal attention.

 


St. Mary's Home for Disabled Children is the only facility of its kind in Virginia, providing comprehensive care for children and young adults with severe disabilities from around the state. Find out what makes St. Mary's Home a special place for special children.

The children at St. Mary’s have the same social and emotional needs as children everywhere, and our activities and therapeutic recreation departments provide daily opportunities for children to enjoy recreation and leisure pursuits. Thanks to recent support from Sentara Health Foundation and the Tidewater Children’s Foundation, the Home has a comprehensive therapeutic recreational therapy program to include projects such as an art therapy program, a pet therapy program and a new Girl Scout troop with six proud St. Mary’s members.
