Welcome Home.

Empowering Independence for the DeafBlind Community.

Jeri’s House is a safe, supportive, and inclusive home designed to help individuals who are DeafBlind build the skills and confidence needed to live independently. We believe that every person—regardless of ability—deserves to thrive, connect, and live with dignity and autonomy.

Our Mission.

At Jeri’s House, our mission is to provide personalized support, training, and community for individuals who are deafblind or living with dual sensory impairments. We are dedicated to teaching essential life skills in a nurturing environment where each person is respected, heard, and empowered.

Who We Serve.

We support adults who are deafblind or experiencing combined hearing and vision loss. Whether from birth or later in life, our programs are adapted to meet individuals where they are and guide them forward.

A Place To Belong.

It’s more than a residence—it’s a community. Here, connection happens through touch, trust, and tailored communication. We celebrate abilities, nurture potential, and foster independence with compassion and expertise.

Skills We Teach.

Advocacy is a vital skill to possess. Individuals who are DeafBlind will learn how to express themselves to inform others of their specific needs. Individuals must understand their own disability as well as their abilities in order to advocate more efficiently.

  • Braille is a wonderful asset to enable individuals who are DeafBlind to
    communicate with themselves and others. Each person can decide for themselves if they want to learn the alphabet or to continue and learn all that Braille has to offer. Individuals will have the option of learning to use a Braille writer or slate and stylus, both great writing tools. Braille is a fantastic way to label your personal items and a wonderful way to enjoy reading the bible or other good books.

  • Sign Language is a beautiful language that enhances communication with others. Each person will choose whether they wish to learn the manual alphabet, Signed English, or American Sign Language or all. Protactile will also be introduced, which is a form of communication that allows a person who is DeafBlind to interact more efficiently with others. This opens up a huge world of information for people who are DeafBlind.

  • Individuals who are DeafBlind will be given the responsibility of helping with all household duties. Each person will learn all the aspects of living independently so they can eventually move forward to their own place of residence.

  • Support groups / Bible Studies will be offered daily to allow individuals who are DeafBlind to feel free to talk openly about their adjustments to their dual sensory loss and learn about God’s love.

  • Leisure group activities will be offered frequently to enhance communication and promote self-confidence and self-esteem. Various activities will be scheduled to allow DeafBlind to learn about their environment and to engage in their surrounding.
