The ILO team standing together in front of the red office building with large glass doors and windows.

A team that’s been doing this – and doing it well – since 2002.

Built to set a higher standard

ILO was founded by someone who’d spent years at a large player in this industry and saw both where the field was headed and where other providers fell short. The organization started with group homes and independent living skills, then grew into community-based services, behavioral intervention, and 24-Hour Emergency Assistance as demand grew.

ILO Believes In…

Respectful & Individualized Care

Health & Safety First

Being Person-Centered for Staff Too

Practicality & Sustainability

Collaboration

Responsiveness, Always

Our Mission

“To nurture the growth and success of the individuals we serve and the people we employ, through responsive and respectful services and supports.”

  • Every case is reviewed individually – never reduced to a line on a spreadsheet.

  • Supervisors get a personal budget to support their own teams.

  • A hands-on culture: staff picnics, team mixers, real time together.

  • We invest more heavily in staffing than some competitors.

  • A leadership team with a 10-year minimum tenure – several since 2002.

  • Deep coordination across every team member in a person’s life.
