Amenities
Noah’s House was built so that we could offer a caring, spacious home for residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are located in a quiet community near Almeda and the Sam Houston Tollway. With our location so close to malls, religious institutions, restaurants, movie theaters, and medical facilities, we are well-equipped to meet our residents’ needs and take them on frequent and enjoyable outings! Our 50-room facility is possible because of a cherished benefactor, generous donors and community support. Please scroll through the gallery below to see where the residents live.
Each resident has their own spacious room and every two rooms share an adjoining bath and commode. Each room has the following:
- Vanity area
- Sink
- Flat screen television equipped with 40 channels
- Telephone connection
- Secure, individual resident storage areas
- Beautiful furnishings
Our residents are blessed with these amenities so they can make their room their own. Most homes that house adults with I/DD do not offer these amenities, and this is another reason that Noah’s House is special. Each resident is encouraged to enhance their rooms with personal items so they truly feel at home.
All rooms surround a beautiful enclosed courtyard where our residents and their guests can enjoy the outdoors, get some exercise, and enjoy the fresh air. Our residents love the peace they get from this mini at-home retreat. Residents regularly congregate to build friendships and just enjoy each other’s company.
Connection and conversations often happen around food! To further promote community living and to foster friendships, we have a lovely living room, along with a communal dining room with a professional kitchen and food preparation area. We also provide weekly laundry services for our residents.

We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy life to the fullest. The outings we do as a group brings smiles to our residents' faces, and joy to their families. Participating in activities as a group further promotes our sense of community and the desire to be one big family.
Social/Recreational Activities
The group social opportunities, such as field trips, celebrations, special events, parties, and interest clubs, promote our sense of community and the desire to be one big family. Our residents enjoy outings such as going on picnics, driving to see Christmas lights, walking through the Houston Zoo, camping trips, bowling, and fishing amongst other activities. The memories they make with each other create lifelong friendships.
Resident Wellness Activities
Teaching residents to master activities fundamental in caring for oneself is essential for them to maintain independence. The wellness activities are taught through workshops, groups, presentations, and games which help residents balance and/or learn skills to improve their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Improving their overall wellness boosts the self-esteem of adults with I/DD, which you can see as they stand taller and become a more positive person.
Employment Readiness Opportunities
A solid day of meaningful work gives most people a sense of purpose and confidence. The same is true for our adults with I/DD. In fact, our residents take great pride in their jobs and their place in the community outside of Noah’ House. For this reason job readiness and placement is a main goal for each of our residents. We help identify their strengths and desires and try to match them with a workplace environment best suited for them. We provide transportation to and from work, as well as lunches for each resident.
