Journeys in Community Living
Journeys in Community Living is committed to supporting adults with disabilities in choosing and realizing their visions of where and how they live, work and socialize. We operate with the beliefs that all persons with disabilities should have the support necessary to live healthy and secure lives; work at meaningful jobs which they enjoy; live in homes of their own with whom they choose; have friends and other relationships in their lives; and participate in and contribute to their communities. Journeys has been striving for this goal since it was established more than 40 years ago as the Rutherford County Adult Activity Center. We invite you to learn more about us on our Web site or by coming in for a tour!
