Verland North

Verland is thrilled to announce the expansion of our community and services into Venango County. As a person-centered non-profit family, we have been approved to build up to four Verland Signature Homes serving Venango, Butler, and Mercer counties.

We will also provide services for the 32 individuals currently residing at the soon-to-close Polk State Center. We are planning a seamless transition for these residents so that their lives are as uninterrupted as possible. Their soon-to-be new homes will provide them with a place of comfort and familiarity while receiving the necessary therapies, training, and activities to continue living engaging and enriched lives.

While the Signature Homes are being constructed, residents will remain fully cared for at the Polk State facility. Additionally, we hope to hire the skilled and dedicated therapists, the direct support professionals, and the medical staff that is already in place at the Polk State Facility.

A community town hall will be held for residents and their families to learn more and to ask questions. A second town hall will be held for employees to learn more about career opportunities at Verland. Both events will be available via Zoom and recorded for future distribution.
