About Us
About Verland
Born in human compassion, Verland was raised from a vision to reality by three dedicated and loving women – each with an unstinting belief in her own capacity to make a difference.
We believe that every person deserves a safe, enriching, and stable environment in which to thrive with dignity and respect. Our mission is to provide individualized care and ongoing support for people in our community with complex physical and intellectual challenges.
Verland is committed to the belief that our society must provide all human beings with the opportunity to live a life of dignity, to maximize their potential, and to contribute to our society to the full extent of their abilities. We employ the highest ethical standards and leadership principles, designed to promote such honored values as choice, control, safety, stability, success, and relationships.
Our daughter, Genevieve, is alive and thriving today because of the caring people of Verland. Genevieve’s needs have been addressed by the people at Verland who have the hearts of servants, the wisdom of experts, the compassion of saints, and the courage of heroes. Many people talk about love — the people of Verland put love into action!
Verland Story
Where We Serve
Verland's community homes and Adult Training Facilities reach across nine counties in Western Pennsylvania. Each one is staffed around the clock by people who treat it as exactly what it is: someone's home.
Allegheny County
Allegheny is the heart of Verland's network. The majority of our community homes are clustered here, threaded through the neighborhoods around Pittsburgh and out toward Sewickley, where the organization is based. It is also home to our largest share of day programming, so the people we support have somewhere to learn, work, and connect close by.
- 3 Adult Training Facilities
- 1 24/7 Support
Beaver County
A tight group of Verland homes set in the kind of small river towns where neighbors still know each other. It is a quieter corner of our map, and the people who live here are very much part of their communities.
- 1 24/7 Support
Fayette County
Here, Verland homes sit alongside an Adult Training Facility, so daily life and day programming stay close together. It is one of the places where someone can live and find their routine without a long trip to get there.

Community homes and another Adult Training Facility extend Verland’s reach well beyond the Pittsburgh metro, into communities that do not always have services like these nearby.

Venango County
