About Treasure House

A place to call home.
A life to call your own.

Treasure House is a residential community in Glendale, Arizona, for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Residents have their own apartments, their own schedules and real responsibility for their everyday lives, with people nearby when they need a hand.

Take a Tour Why Treasure House

Why Treasure House

Adulthood should come with choices.

Where to live. What to do for work. Who to spend time with. What to make for dinner. How late to stay out. What comes next.

Those everyday choices are a big part of being an adult. At Treasure House, residents get the space to make them, learn from them and become more confident in what they can do for themselves.

And when something gets tricky? Someone is close by to help.

No two lives look the same

One community.
Plenty of ways to belong.

One resident might be focused on landing a new job, while another is mastering a favorite recipe or making weekend plans with friends. There is no cookie-cutter version of independence at Treasure House, and that is exactly how it should be. We give everyone the space and support to define a good life on their own terms.

“These residents can put their stuff in their apartments and invite a friend over for a Coke; they can wake up and say, ‘I'm going to work’; they can say, ‘Do you want to dance tonight?’”
