History of a Grace PLACE
a Grace PLACE began in the 1960’s as one man’s search for community and has grown into a source of hope for hundreds of families. Founder Louis Michaux’s own experience with cerebral palsy gave him the understanding that people with disabilities were searching for day resources offering the opportunity for socialization, cognitive and intellectual stimulation, basic health maintenance, and assistance with daily living activities. Today at a Grace PLACE, we celebrate a rich tradition of providing daytime health services and support for adults with disabilities and chronic age-related health conditions, while providing respite for their caregiving families.
