SERVICES & PROJECTS
Logwood services are the ongoing activities and offerings to support and care for the residents. This includes residential care, medical assistance, life skills training, social activities, protective employment training, and therapy sessions, among others.
Logwood projects are specific time-bound initiatives aimed at enhancing facilities, training and implementing new programs and engaging with the community and resident families. This includes building a new accessible playground, launching an art therapy program, or renovating living spaces. The Edu-stimulation Project, was successful and is now part of our services.

The Chicken Project Farm
Our residents are responsible for the chickens and the harvesting of their eggs.
We sell our eggs to residents' family and friends.
In the long-term we hope to expand the operation to provide additional funding into Logwood.
Aquaponics
We have partnered with Xpedite Systems and have installed an Aquaponics vegetable and herb garden.
Although this project is still in the foundation stages, it is already supplying our kitchen with vegetables.
