WE ARE FAMILIES SERVING FAMILIES

Merry Glen was a pioneer in cooperative care and has been serving individuals with disabilities requiring full-time care through residential services since 1973.

The Family Co-op is a non-profit, family managed corporation founded in 1961.

Our mission is to serve families with a loved one requiring continuing professional support, primarily through our residential Merry Glen program.

The fundamental unit of service, whether family, volunteer or employed, is the quality of the primal bond between the loved one needing support and the caregiver offering it.

Strengthening this bond drives us to advocate for fully funded services and policies supporting the caring professionals on our team.
