Life at Breckenridge Village estled in the Piney Woods of East Texas, Breckenridge Village of Tyler provides an excellent rural setting for those wishing to live away from the hustle of the big city. Set over a lightly wooded area, Breckenridge Village provides fresh air and beautiful scenery as a backdrop to a functionally designed residential area. Our first phase of development includes six residences, administrative offices, chapel, and a vocational center. Each residence offers a family atmosphere and is home to eight adults and two house parents. House parents are trained to assume full responsibility for their homes.
Duties are typically parental, including household shopping, cooking, and dispensing medications.
Breckenridge Village has implemented a unique vocational program, a Candle Shop, which has been designed to expose residents to a working environment and allow them to earn an income. The program also gives them opportunities to develop their skills and talents. Residents earn a salary based on their production. Some help is needed occasionally, but everyone can do it, and all participants seem to take particular pride in the candles and in doing their part to keep things running smoothly.
