Our Philosophy: A focus on individuals and abilities

The Marbridge Mission: Marbridge provides a safe, loving community where adult residents with cognitive challenges can achieve their full potential through Abilities Centered Training with the opportunity for lifetime care.

At Marbridge, we focus on individuals first and cognitive challenges second. Our goal is to enable residents to reach their maximum potential through structured education and training programs, called Abilities Centered Training (ACT). ACT provides the mental stimulation and encouragement that residents need to continue learning in a comfortable and positive training environment, surrounded and encouraged by their peers. Residents enjoy the personal satisfaction of being as independent as possible, overcoming individual challenges, and making a meaningful contribution to the Marbridge and Austin communities.

Marbridge provides a safe, loving community. For some residents, Marbridge serves almost like a post-secondary, college-like training experience where young adults make the transition from Special Education student to employed adult, living and interacting in the community. For others, it provides a stimulating yet supportive community of peers who live, work, and play in a supervised, semi-independent setting. For older adults, Marbridge offers a peaceful place to enjoy end-of-life care, all on one interconnected campus.
