about Rosa's Centre

After 50 years of providing care for developmentally challenged children - Rosa Panetta needed a break. Rosa’s daughter (Mary Pronesti) took over and started Rosa’s Centre. A family run organization where everyone is treated as family.

Rosa’s Centre provides a safe and loving environment for adults with disabilities while ensuring their health, happiness, security and the fulfillment of their highest potential. We help clients reach personal independence in daily living.
