Our story at United Living Services

Discover the passion and principles that drive our mission to empower individuals with developmental disabilities across Ohio.

Our inspiring journey

United Living Services was inspired by a lifelong passion for supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. Growing up, my mom often took me to volunteer at developmental disability facilities, teaching me that everyone deserves respect, opportunities, and a high quality of life. These early experiences sparked a passion that eventually led me to a career dedicated to this field.

Our unique approach to care

Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience providing person-centered care, learning that the best support comes from building genuine relationships, encouraging independence, and celebrating each person’s unique strengths. That’s the heart of United Living Services—to provide compassionate, individualized support that empowers people to live fulfilling, meaningful lives while treating every individual like family.
