About Malachi Care
Every Person Matters. Every Person Has a Purpose.
At Malachi Care, we believe every person deserves to be seen, valued, loved, and given the opportunity to live a meaningful life.
Because to us, care is more than what we do. It’s how we see people.
We are a family-founded, home and community-based services agency dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Through personalized care, meaningful relationships, and community-based support, we help individuals build independence, experience belonging, and pursue the things that matter most to them.
Our mission goes beyond providing services. We believe every life has value, every voice deserves to be heard, and every individual has something meaningful to contribute to the world around them.
Our Story
A Lifetime of Caring. A Purpose Worth Sharing.
For as long as I can remember, caring for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities has been a part of my life.
Since I was nine years old, I’ve had the privilege of growing up alongside individuals who became part of our home, our family, and our everyday lives. Through my father’s more than 17 years of dedicated service, I learned early on that caring for others is about so much more than meeting their daily needs. It’s about building relationships, recognizing their value, and helping them experience a life filled with love, dignity, and purpose.
What began as part of my childhood grew into a lifelong passion for serving others. Today, it’s an incredible honor to continue that journey alongside my father as the Director of Malachi Care.
Together, we founded this agency with a simple belief: every person matters, and every person has a purpose.
We are committed to providing more than services. We want to build meaningful relationships, empower individuals to grow, support families, and create opportunities for every person to experience belonging, independence, and purpose within their community.
It is truly a privilege to do this work, and we are grateful for every individual and family who allows us to be part of their journey.

Our Core Values
What We Believe You Deserve
We believe quality care begins with recognizing the value of every person. These values aren’t simply what we strive to provide. They’re what we believe every individual deserves.
-
Dignity
You are a whole person, never a diagnosis or a case.
Your life has value simply because you are you. We believe every individual deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and compassion. We see the person first, recognizing their unique personality, strengths, experiences, and potential.
-
Choice
Your voice matters. Your preferences come first.
We believe everyone deserves the freedom to make meaningful choices about their own lives. From everyday routines to personal goals and important decisions, we’re here to listen, respect your preferences, and support you in living life on your terms.
-
Connection
Everyone deserves a place to belong.
Life is richer when we experience meaningful relationships and genuine community. We believe everyone deserves opportunities to build friendships, strengthen family connections, participate in their community, and experience the joy of belonging.
-
Opportunity
Your potential should never be defined by your disability.
We believe every person deserves the opportunity to discover their strengths, pursue their interests, learn new skills, and achieve meaningful goals. Whatever growth looks like for you, we’re here to encourage, empower, and support you along the way.
-
Independence
Your life. Your goals. Your journey.
Independence looks different for everyone. We believe in empowering individuals to do as much as possible for themselves while providing the support they need to succeed. Our goal isn’t to take over, but to walk alongside you as you build confidence, develop skills, and experience greater independence.
-
Compassion
Care should always feel personal.
We believe meaningful care begins with genuine compassion. It’s found in the little things: taking time to listen, being patient, celebrating progress, and showing up when it matters. We strive to create an environment where every individual feels safe, understood, and truly cared for.
-
Purpose
Every person has something meaningful to contribute.
We believe purpose is not determined by ability, achievement, or circumstance. Every life has meaning, and every individual has unique gifts, interests, and experiences worth celebrating. We’re passionate about helping people discover what brings them joy, fulfillment, and a sense of purpose.
More Than Care. A Place to Belong.
At the heart of Malachi Care is a simple conviction: people deserve more than just having their needs met. They deserve relationships, opportunities, meaningful experiences, and a community where they feel they belong.
Whether we’re supporting someone in their home, helping them develop new skills, or creating opportunities to connect with their community, our commitment remains the same.
To see the person. To value their voice. To support their purpose.
Because every person matters. And every person has a purpose.
