Ardmore is a private, non-profit corporation established in 1976 to provide alternatives to institutional living for residents of Summit County who are developmentally disabled. Ardmore operates small homes, foster care homes, and provides case work support to individuals in our supported living program who live alone, with roommates or spouses. The Ardmore staff is committed to advocate for the rights of each individual, and to provide consistent quality support services for those we serve. The founding philosophy of Ardmore has always been to emphasize the right of each individual to live and participate in the community in the least restrictive environment while striving for the greatest measure of independence. The agency receives federal and state tax dollars, as well as local funding from the County of Summit Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (CSBMR/DD). The Summit County community also supports our services through donations of time and funding to the Ardmore Foundation.
