Supported Employment Services

We provide supported employment services designed to assist persons with severe or significant disabilities in obtaining and maintaining community and integrated competitive employment through specifically planned supports.


Supported Employment services consist of ongoing supports designed to assist individuals for whom it is unlikely that competitive employment at or above the minimum wage will occur without supports, and who, because of their disabilities, need supports to perform in a regular work setting.


The planned outcomes of these services are increased hours worked, increased wages and frequent opportunities to interact with non-disabled peers during the normal performance of the job and/or during breaks, lunch periods or travel to and from work.

“Dr. B, I’m very thankful that God guided me to choose your Agency for my daughter. We had a meet and greet with many Agencies, and none of them is well set up like Home Care Preference. Every time I visit her, she always looks happy, clean, and healthy. Blessings to you guys. She looks so good! I can tell you guys are taking such good care of her. I also met her roommates. They all look very well taken care of. Thanks for your good care of these girls with disabilities. You and your team make the world a better place! It takes a special heart to do what you. You will always be in my prayers.”

“I want to thank Home Care Preference for making it possible for me and my daughter to have a quality life. Before God guided my father to call Home Care Preference to help us support my daughter Lydia, we were having a tough time with her. Things were so bad that I could not keep my job. My daughter was in and out of the mental health hospital at least three times a week. She had graduated from high school, and we didn’t have the professional skills to manage her behaviors. Today my daughter Lydia has been supported in this house for years, and she has never been admitted into the hospital again, not even once.”
