AbleLight’s Direct Support Care team members bring our mission to life, and they are the heart of what we do! They provide hands-on support for the people we support by planning activities, assisting with daily hygiene and care, and encouraging the people they support to reach their goals. Our DSPs bring their heart to work every day and truly make a difference for individuals with developmental disabilities.

The Importance of Congregate Living

Our congregate living program is vital for people with developmental disabilities, providing safe housing, and fostering a sense of community that combats isolation and housing insecurities. With 24/7 support, the program allows for continuous attention to an individual’s health and wellness needs. It empowers people to engage with their communities, pursue their passions, build lasting friendships, and lead fulfilling lives, making a significant impact in overcoming the social challenges they often face.
