Fidelity House Celebrates Opening of 18th New Home

Patti and Larry at the Open House

Fidelity House Human Services (FHHS) recently celebrated the opening of their second group home in Haverhill, bringing the total number of staffed homes accomodating individuals with developmental disabilties in the Merrimack Valley to a total of 18.  Built from the ground up, this beautiful home supports the new lifestyles of its residents: Larry, Donna, Andy, Joe and Suzy. The residents were joined by family, friends and staff members  to celebrate this milestone in their lives and enjoyed showing off their their new rooms. All their rooms were colorfully decorated with posters, wall decorations and more.  Larry, in particular, was eager to welcome everyone stating “Before I moved to Fidelity House I watched a lot of tv, but now I’m too busy; we’re always having fun doing something else!”    

Front View of House

The house looked amazing, featuring a large kitchen, comfortable living room and a study with a great view of the front lawn. The sun shone over the patio where people relaxed and enjoyed the gorgeous view from the home’s location high upon the hill.  The house is fully accessible to allow all the residents maximum independence.

We will be celebrating our 40th anniversary all year with exciting milestone events including our golf tournament in September and the opening of our 19th home in October. This beautiful, fully accessible home, designed to support maximum independence for its residents, was made possible, in part, by past and present Fidelity House donors. Proceeds from our 40th aniversary events  help Fidelity House to fund homes, programs and services throughout the Merrimack Valley region for more than 600 children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families.  Because of the support and commitment of friends like you, we continue to grow and thrive along with the individuals we serve.  Since 1971 our goals have remained the same: to empower individuals with disabilities to live a full rich life–as integral parts of a family, a home and a community.

Your support will also help provide recreational opportunities for both children and adults: our 40th anniversary picnic, trips to ball games, the movies, the beach, hiking and more. As Larry, one of our newest residents stated recently: “Before I moved to Fidelity House I watched a lot of tv, but now I’m too busy; we’re always having fun doing something else!”

Please help us provide opportunities for individuals like Larry, and contribute to our 40th anniversary and golf tournament.  Become a sponsor, make up a foursome, or donate a gift certificate from your favorite restaurant. All donations and all players are welcome! Together we can make a difference!

Resident Adam (Center) with his father and brother

Recently we celebrated the opening of a brand new home in Haverhill. Its new residents, George, America, Adam and Carmen, gathered with family, friends, and staff for a lovely afternoon of laughter, refreshments and tours to celebrate their beautiful new home located at the end of a lovely cul-de-sac in a tree lined rural neighborhood. The light filled home features a large, modern and open plan, with four bedrooms, a cozy den, a sunroom, and a large open kitchen/dining area with adjacent living room. It is fully accessible and features state of the art adaptations for the comfort and safety of each of its new residents. It was a warm welcome to the start of a new life.
