The Brookwood Community is a 475-acre campus.
It is located in Brookshire, Texas, 40 miles west of downtown Houston. The Brookwood Community is a non-profit (501(c)3) residential facility and vocational program for adults with disabilities. The citizens work in one or more of several on-site enterprises, exercise and play in the indoor swimming pool and gymnasium, celebrate the presence of God in their inter-faith worship center, and when necessary, receive care in the medical clinic. Brookwood provides an educational environment that creates meaningful jobs, builds a sense of belonging, and demands dignity and respect for adults with disabilities.
The campus consists of: Eight group homes, two single-family staff homes, a residential Inn, health and dental clinic, Worship Center, enterprise building, activities and administration building, 47 greenhouses, Gift and Garden Center and the Café at Brookwood, and several other support buildings.
Brookwood serves: 110 resident adults (known as Brookwood “citizens”) who are functionally disabled and live at Brookwood 24/7. Another 80 plus adults participate in our day program. The range of diverse needs at Brookwood include people with autism spectrum disorders; intellectual disabilities; developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injury; dual diagnosis; and/or aging care needs. It is the only community that takes care of their aging residents.
The Brookwood Community established in 1985
