The Casa Libre/Freedom House Facilities
| The Casa Libre/Freedom House offers its residents a secure and pleasant home environment intended to provide a sense of safety and stability, while encouraging residents to contribute to the appearance and functionality of the home. The property is fenced and gated for security of the premises and the residents. The house is surrounded by lush gardens. The residents engage in a weekly gardening project growing bulbs, plants and vegetables, and generally maintaining the gardens surrounding the house. The house includes two large living rooms, a large dining room, kitchen, pantry, breakfast room, a computer room, a music room, a staff office, seven bedrooms, and four bathrooms. The living rooms, dining room, and several of the bedrooms have rounded walls, ceilings, and windows. The dining room and entry way are wood-paneled. The entry room and dining room include antique chandeliers. The bedrooms are spacious and none is shared by more than two residents. Residents are permitted to decorate their rooms as they would if living in their own homes. For added privacy, each resident is provided a key to a lock to their individual bedrooms (staff has a master key allowing them to enter all bedrooms). A separate 2-story carriage house (about 800 square feet) will soon be converted into a multi-media studio for the program's residents. * * * * * * * * * |
