Vision Statement

Our vision statement is our golden rule: Our staff treats those we serve as we would like to be treated. We instill this supporting value with all we say and do, understanding that the developmentally disabled have the same needs as those with no disability. Our vision, which we call My Life to Live, offers guidance to our staff for making a difference in the lives of those we serve.
