OUR CULTURE

At KenCrest, we support person-centered planning and prioritize it by offering several services from birth to adulthood to help those with intellectual or developmental disabilities thrive in all aspects of their life. We serve Southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut.

The KenCrest Difference

At KenCrest, we not only support person-centered planning but also make it a priority.

We believe that everyone:

  • Should live in a home of their choosing, surrounded by people who love them.
  • Can participate in a meaning-filled employment opportunity or meaningful activities of their choosing.
  • Is deserving and capable of building genuine connections and friendships.
  • Can access and thrive in inclusive, community settings with supports.

All our services aim to enhance a person’s quality of life, tailored to their desires, preferences, and goals. Anyone with an Individual Support Plan (ISP), an Individual Education Plan (IEP), an Individual Family Support Plan (IFSP), an Individual Habilitation Plan (IHP), or an Individual Program Plan (IPP) has a customized, person-centered plan.

As an equal opportunity employer (EOE), our dedicated staff of over 2,100 employees and independent contractors are knowledgeable and qualified, with extensive experience helping children, youth, and adults reach their goals in service of our mission: to support community development by exploring possibilities, mobilizing resources, and championing dreams.

We recognize that none of this is possible without championing equal opportunities for everyone — regardless of race, gender, age, nationality, sexual orientation, identity, mental, emotional, or physical ability. We pride ourselves on creating inclusive environments as much as we advocate for inclusive settings.

Empowering people requires a dedication to personal and professional growth, which is fundamental to our core. Our commitment to our community is to create a warm, uplifting, and family-oriented culture for everyone daily. That's because we know what engaging with individuals of all abilities means and ensure that the people we support thrive and live enriched lives.

If this sounds like you, join our team of employees, making dreams possible!
