Rest, renewal, and relationships for kids with intellectual disabilities and their families

Jill’s House is a Christian nonprofit organization that loves and serves families raising children, adolescents, and young adults, ages 6-22, with profound intellectual disabilities through short-term, overnight respite care and holistic family support services. Regularly throughout the year, parents send their children with intellectual disabilities to our “respite resort” in Vienna, VA, or to one of our camp locations around the country for 24-48 hour stays. The kids get an amazing experience in a safe, fun, loving, and celebratory environment.

Meanwhile, their parents get a break. They get to sleep through the night. They get to go on a date. They get to give undivided attention to their other children. Most families take these things for granted. But for Jill’s House families, these are rare and precious gifts—they’re a lifeline.
