Trillium providing $2M to Easterseals PORT Health for Henry’s House
BURGAW, NC (WWAY) — Trillium Health Resources awarded Easterseals PORT Health $2,000,000 to renovate an existing facility to create Henry’s House for the well-being of children and families.
Henry’s House will be a dedicated respite care program for children ages 8 to 18 with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
Henry’s House is designed with both children and caregivers in mind—providing a nurturing, sensory-friendly environment where youth can safely stay for short term respite while families rest, recharge, and maintain their own wellbeing.
“Henry’s House will offer enriching experiences for children and also provide much-needed respite for parents,” says Liz Hill, Senior Vice President of
Easterseals PORT Health’s Home & Community Based Services. “This gives tireless, devoted parents much-needed time to rest, recharge and tend to other responsibilities, knowing their child is in compassionate and capable hands.”
Henry’s House will be equipped with:
- Comfortable overnight accommodation for short-term stays
- Structured activities and individualized support plans
- Trained staff experienced in supporting children with complex needs
- A trauma-informed, sensory-aware environment
- A focus on fun, friendships, and flexibility
