🍩 Happy National Donut Day from all of us at Promise Community Homes (PCH)! 🍩
 ⠀
Today, we rolled in with 100 donuts from our friends at @schnuckmarkets—glazed, sprinkled, and everything in between—to bring a little sweetness to our residents’ morning during their @stlouisarc’s programming. We also left boxes out in the PCH Community Center so staff, neighbors, and visitors could grab a treat (or two!) all day long.
 ⠀
“Home sweet home” never tasted so good! 🏠🍩🏠

❓ Tell us: What’s your go-to donut or local bakery? Drop your faves in the comments! ⬇️💬

⚒️🏠 During storms in March, this home took a big hit—roof, siding, and columns all needed repairs. Once it became vacant, PCH jumped in to give the interior some love, too:

 • Painting 🎨
 • New drywall 🪚
 • All-new flooring 🌟
 • A widened bedroom doorway 🚪 (and closing the old one!)

These updates will make the home more accessible, comfortable, and safe—and we can’t wait for it to become a forever home for fellow St. Louisans with IDD!

A huge shout-out to @artemis.constructiongroup for the exterior work (roof, siding, windows), Reinhold Flooring for the beautiful floor install, and our own Lead Tech Jason Muschany for painting, moving, and rebuilding walls. 🙌

➡️ Swipe to see before/after, work-in-progress shots, plus the new doorway and floor.

Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes and a housewarming soon! 💙🏡

💜💙💛🧡 June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month! 💜💙💛🧡
 @alzassociation 

People with IDD, especially those with Down syndrome, have a higher risk of dementia, most often Alzheimer’s disease. While people are living longer, healthier lives, aging brings new challenges—especially for adults with IDD, who tend to age faster.

➡️Swipe to see the estimates of aging Americans with dementia.

🔍 Early evaluations by a neurologist or licensed clinical psychologist (especially in the early to mid-30s) are key for spotting changes.

Promise Community Homes (PCH) supports aging adults with IDD by providing accessible, affordable forever homes.

💜 Join us in raising awareness this June.

Meet the PCH Maintenance Team! This is newest Maintenance Technician Brent Rayford, and we welcomed him into the PCH family and community a little over a month ago. Brent’s most recent position was a fiber installation technician, and he joins us with years of experience in home renovations and reconstruction.

“It was a good fit for my career goals,” Brent shared. “PCH offers the stability, challenge, and fulfillment that I was looking for.”

Brent started laughing and joking around with everyone right away, even goofing a bit during his photo session, and he feels confident this will be a good fit. “It's a great upgrade from my last maintenance position. I feel valuable in my position.”

As he’s very new and still learning and adjusting to the position, Brent doesn’t yet have a favorite memory, but he’s looking forward to creating them and building relationships with staff and residents. “I'm genuinely excited about being a part of such an amazing environment.

Brent is a wonderful member of PCH, and we are happy to have him! Be sure to say hi when you see him out and about, doing what he does best!

💙💚 May is Mobility Awareness Month! 💚💙

At PCH, mobility begins at home and extends to our fully-accessible Community Center—where over 1,000 people a year enjoy classes, parties, camps, and more in our 2,400 sq ft gym and eastern Missouri’s only indoor, heated, accessible pool.

With ramps, automatic doors, wheelchair-friendly flooring, accessible restrooms and locker rooms, plus pool lifts, our Community Center ensures fun, safety, and comfort for individuals with IDD. ♿️🏤🏊

Like home, community centers should be a place of choice, independence, and access for all. 💙💚

💙 It’s that time again… inspection season at PCH! 💛

Each year in spring and early summer, our Operations team hits the road to inspect all 89 of our homes and apartments. These check-ins help us understand what’s working, what could be better, and what our residents need to live safely and independently.

Here’s Aaron, our Operations Manager, during an inspection last week. 👷‍♂️🏠

Because every forever home deserves care, maintenance, hard work, and love. 💙💛

Testimonials

My sister lived with our parents until our mom was unable to care for her anymore due to illness. At that time, the only place for my sister to live was in a habilitation center. I was referred to a support agency, and together we approached PCH (then called Rainbow Village) to find a community home for my sister and some roommates. Rainbow Village was able to find a great home in a safe community for the residents and her whole attitude has changed. I noticed that she smiles more and is able to do things we take for granted (i.e. can go to the kitchen and get food when she wants to). The home is great and beautifully maintained. The neighbors even comment that it is one of the best looking homes in the neighborhood. I am very pleased that my sister is provided a safe, comfortable and affordable home in the community for the rest of her life.

Sister of a PCH Resident

Promise Community Homes serves two constituent groups equally – both the disabled and their families. The homes provide the ability to live and belong in community, and thereby enrich the lives of its residents. In turn, providing a safe and happy place to live gives their loved ones peace of mind and freedom of their own. As someone with a developmentally disabled family member, I understand the substantial benefits. By supporting this organization, I’m helping to create and maintain the home and community environment that means so much to so many.

I just wanted to let you know that the move-in tour went very well. The family thought it was beautiful and there were even some tears involved. Thank you for providing beautiful homes for the people we support.
