Our Mission
The mission of Neumann Family Services is to integrate persons with disabilities and other life issues into the community and enrich their quality of life with choice and independence.


Our Core Values

Innovation:
All services including residential, employment, transition, career and senior services are innovative and creative.

Empowerment:
Members of the Neumann family are taught to do for themselves to the greatest extent possible. Empowerment encompasses the principles of self-advocacy.

Person-centered support:
Personal dreams and life plans are established by the individual and/or their families, friends and champions, and supported by the staff.

Community based:
Supports are given in the natural community and settings, and includes the development of community-based relationships and friendships.

Inclusion:
Services directed toward community integration include persons with and without disabilities and benefit all participants. An array of services is available to many people with varying disabilities and ages.


Our services are designed with the dreams of each person in mind, and reflect the answers to the question, "Who are you?" We are members, residents, employees, trainees, artists, students, seniors, friends, advocates, clients and dreamers.

Some members of Neumann Family Services have a developmental or intellectual disability while others have mental health issues. Many of the people that receive services have both a developmental disability and a mental illness.
