The Hanot Story

Sister Madeline Hanot

A SPECIAL PLACE FROM THE BEGINNING
Sister Madeleine Hanot inspired a group of parents and interested friends to provide a home-like residence for disabled adults in the early 1970's. Established in 1973 as a nonprofit corporation, Hanot Foundation provides a warm and loving environment for 35 permanent residents and some 30 respite families who take advantage of Hanot's services on an occasional basis.  

​Residents consider Hanot their home.  Each person is valued for their personal character, not just their accomplishments.  A caring staff supports their efforts to achieve greater self-sufficiency.  A spirit of "family" is fostered on every level.

HANOT HOMES
​The Hanot Foundation owns and operates two homes in the Central Valley of Northern California.  Both homes are located outside the town of Lockeford in a natural rustic setting.

​Our original home serves thirty adults who are not capable of living on their own, but have the desire to be as independent and self-sufficient as possible.  The other home, Mary Frances Hat Facility is home to six seniors who are also developmentally disabled.  This home serves both ambulatory and non-ambulatory residents.  It specializes in the care and supervision of the medically fragile, who are not in need of hospital or convalescent care.  

Each of the Hanot homes provides a supervised but full life for the residents.  Under the supervision of a caring staff, residents are encouraged and challenged to reach their full potential.
