Rehoboth Home is a non-profit Christian, charitable residential home. Our goal is to provide accurate information and support to women in crisis pregnancy situations. What our residents have in common is that they either are pregnant or they have a newborn baby. Residents are from all walks of life, any age and of any time during their pregnancy. Sometimes a young mother with a newborn is referred to Rehoboth Home by an agency or because of an emergency situation. Rehoboth Home provides an individualized program for each resident. Client Service workers provide 24 hour care and supervision at Rehoboth Home.
