With the help of over 700 team members, Emmaus provides housing, recreational, education and spiritual care programs for those we serve. With Emmaus standing behind them, and the support of the community, Emmaus clients can be in control of their lives and live like you and me. The Emmaus Home Complex in Marthasville began as a seminary for the German Evangelical Church in Missouri. A campus of five buildings was completed here by 1859. Four of these remain in various states of repair, those being the Farm House, Bake Oven, Friedensbote Publishing House, and the Dormitory. The College Building itself was lost to a fire in 1930.
My boss and I did our first round of bed checks. We started at one end of the hall and worked our way around. At the first rooms we started in the locker door was open. Well, at first, I thought I had left it open when I got the guys ready for bed. I hated these lockers because I couldn't open them without pulling really hard. My boss and I finished the first rounds and then went for our second.
Helping People
It is a place like no other, and it made a believer out of me. Emmaus Homes is a 5013 non-profit organization and United Way agency. Since our founding in 1893, we have been providing around-the-clock support services to people with cognitive or developmental disabilities. Today, Emmaus supports nearly 300 individuals in more than 80 community homes in a four-county region within the St. Louis metropolitan area. Episode #1 Marthasville had a horrible snow storm. My boss and I didn't want to try and go home since the roads down there are country roads and are very twisty.
It is also said that you can sometimes hear a rocking chair and see her sitting in it. Also it is said that they are not harmful that they just watch over the building. Residential services - Emmaus Homes, Inc., founded in 1893, provides 24-hour individualized community supports to approximately 230 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Episode #3 In the same SM building, this time I was working the night shift permanently.
Spiritual Care
No one really goes up in the attic that much anymore. I went up there one day with my mom and my 2 other friends. It was very cold and they have locks on the door. It is said that some people have seen a guy walking around in the attic. There is also a house right outside in the back of the Emmaus where Mr. Morton and his wife lived at, their house is closed down and no one goes in it.
The seminary was in operation at this site until 1883, when it moved to St. Louis and eventually became Eden Seminary. In 1893 the campus in Marthasville became known the Emmaus Asylum for Epileptics and Feeble Minded. The campus grew to a total of eight substantial buildings including a chapel, by 1928. This is an important historic site, having been constructed by some of the tens of thousands of Germans who emigrated here beginning in the 1830s.
Emmaus Homes,
I had worked on the first floor for quite awhile. This building had no air conditioning so our windows were always open. The maintenance men used the basement for the storage of lawn mowers and things like that. One night, I kept smelling a very strong odor of gasoline.
I figured it was just my silly imagination and continued on. The feeling of dread and fear overtook me something awful. Later on, they found a Ouija board in that same spot covering a hole in the wall.
Emmaus Homes Headquarter
Mona was chosen as Direct Support Professional of the Year for the state of Missouri. Listen to her story about recognition, dedication, and commitment to true community inclusion for the individuals we support and why she loves being a DSP at Emmaus. At Emmaus, we know that the people we support want to be independent.
As well, Emmaus’ spiritual care staff are ambassadors of the Emmaus mission throughout the United Church of Christ and other faith community partners. Spiritual care staff foster these faith-based connections through participation in UCC, ecumenical, and interfaith meetings and events. To inquire about our supported living services you must request a meeting with us. For more support to ensure your loved one’s health and safety, IDDHelp is the place to start and can assist you and your loved one navigate the system.
I figured it was one of the machines leaking. I wanted to find the source and pull it outside before it made someone sick. I headed down stairs and about half way down the hallway, I started to feel very frightened.
I have worked the Emmaus in St. Charles and the stories the other people have written are true and it is true that the upstairs of the main building is a very creepy place. I have been up there and you just know there is something there. At Emmaus, an individual’s spiritual life is an important part of one’s journey to fulfillment and independence. Emmaus takes pride in our faith-based heritage, and strives to help each of our clients participate in the faith community of their choice. By giving to Emmaus, you are making a difference that will increase independence, inclusion, and self-advocacy in the lives of adults with developmental disabilities.
