A Word From the Executive Director
"Loretto Community Residences has been promoting Independence since 1984. Our primary goal is to work closely 
with each resident, helping them determine a healthy self-directed path for themselves. In this safe, respectful environment, a person is offered the opportunity to reach their stated goals.
I believe the greatest gift we can give to another is to treat them in a respectful and dignified manner. Respectfulness and preserving each individual’s dignity is the standard set for the program."
