Individuals With Disabilities

For many years, individuals with Intellectual and developmental disabilities were relegated to living their lives in an institution that was often removed from their natural family or community. Others were isolated in their family’s home with minimal interaction with those in the community where they resided. For more than 30 years, PFH and the many organizations that are now encompassed within PFH, have compassionately served hundreds of individuals so they can live successfully in their own homes and participate in their communities.

Preferred Community Services focuses on care that is individualized, community-based, and designed to enhance an individual’s quality of life.
