Our goal is to create a more inclusive world by fostering the talent, systems, and technologies necessary to bring communities together.The roots of the Family Co-op go back to the 1950s and a desire by a group of families to find something better for their children. At that time, persons with disabilities had few rights and fewer opportunities to integrate into the larger community.

Merry Glen’s remains a family-centered approach to community living. Our loved ones tend to live here for a long time and become part of our larger extended family. Merry Glen serves as an alternative to the model that has grown up in the system of community-based institutions of 3- 6 persons group homes on lonely streets with frequent turnover. We want to expand and help our Loved Ones get better care and have a great experience living at Merry Glen.

Merry Glen serves families with a Loved One who has a disability requiring residential services. As a non-profit family cooperative (founded 1961), one of a handful in the country, we focus our resources where they belong, on those we serve. Our Loved Ones and their families are in charge while living in a setting small enough to be home but large enough to offer the specialized and professional services that loved ones need. Merry Glen is a place of comfort, kindness, and opportunity for those who live with us and those who work with us.
Our team values–Kindness and Caring, Skills, Reliability, and Teamwork–shape our training, compensation, and appreciation for one another.
