Respite center: we have nine overnight beds where clients over age 18 can stay up to twenty-one days/nights giving caregivers a break. Other programs: we have a "buddy program" which teaches mainly inner city youth who are generally in their teens things like how to apply for a job, how to present one's self when interviewing for a job, the responsibilities of having a job, the actual experience of holding a job here at st. Ann center, learning what a check for services rendered is all about by actually receiving a small stipend for the services rendered here at the center and the actual experience of going to a bank and actually cashing that check.wellness: st. Ann center's wellness services focus on promoting the health of the whole person-body, mind and spirit. These services include: massage, used as a therapy for an injury or chronic pain, as well as stress management; music therapy, a unique and creative way to respond to the physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs of people of all ages through the universal language of music; an aquatic center, used to teach children to swim and to provide warm water therapy for clients with physical or cognitive concerns; a beauty salon which provides hair and nail care, promoting client hygiene and feelings of wellbeing; art, jewelry-making and ceramics sessions for children and adults, incorporating basic therapeutic goals aimed at building social skills, self-esteem, fine motor skills, creativity and self-expression through the arts.

Therapy adds to the quality of life for frail seniors, persons with disabilities, and the injured. We offer physical, occupational and speech therapy to both our own clients and people in the community. Grants were paid to support community programs in work study and faithfulness.
