Rhonda’s House is located in DeWitt, IA. Rhonda’s House was named for Rhonda Shouse, a legendary advocate for Iowans with disabilities who passed away in 2017. The peer-run respite center opened its doors on October 15, 2018 and is operated 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
Our respite house and center will be a peaceful and healing space that is accessible for all.
We will hold a space that honors the values of trauma-informed including recognizing needs for physical and emotional safety and being conscious of verbal and body language.
Our space will be free of use of alcohol or illegal drugs.
