About Ohr Ha'lev
"Ohr Ha'lev" means "Light of the Heart" in Hebrew. That name says everything about who we are and what we believe — that every person carries a light inside them, and our job is to help it shine.
A Home Built on Heart
Ohr Ha'lev is a residential care and human services organization dedicated to supporting adults with developmental disabilities. We provide everything a person needs to live a full life: a safe and loving home, engaging daily programs, employment opportunities, and 24/7 compassionate support.
We don't just provide services — we build a community. Our residents are not clients; they are family. And every member of our team shows up every day with one goal: to make life better, brighter, and more joyful for the people in our care.
Our Values
Dignity First
Every person deserves to be seen, heard, and treated with complete respect — always.
Real Home
Not a facility. A home. Warm, personal, and full of life.
Community
We build genuine connections — between residents, families, staff, and the wider world.
Growth
We believe in potential. Every resident has goals, and we help them reach them.
Open Doors
Families are partners, not visitors. We keep communication open, honest, and warm.
Joy
Life should be fun. We celebrate milestones, big and small, every single day.
