Our Story

Since 1993, Care By Clark has built a strong reputation for providing comprehensive, high-quality supports to children and adults with developmental disabilities. Our services are designed to promote independence, dignity, and meaningful community inclusion in alignment with Department of Mental Health standards, HCBS principles, and person-centered practices.

Care By Clark offers a range of residential services, including Individualized Supported Living (ISL), Group Home living, and out-of-home respite. All services are tailored to meet the unique strengths, preferences, and goals of each individual.

As a Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) provider, Care By Clark is committed to ensuring that individuals have full access to the benefits of community living. We support individuals in receiving long-term services in integrated settings of their choice, promoting autonomy, inclusion, and meaningful participation in their communities.

Using a Tiered Supports framework, Care By Clark emphasizes proactive, preventative strategies to support stability and success for all individuals, while also providing targeted and individualized interventions when needed. Our approach focuses on building skills, strengthening natural supports, and addressing needs in a respectful and effective manner.

Care By Clark is committed to providing services in a manner that is equitable, inclusive, and respectful of all individuals. We strive to create environments where every person feels valued, supported, and empowered to live a meaningful life of their choosing.

All services are delivered by a dedicated, interdisciplinary team of Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), Program Coordinators, Degreed Professional Managers, Medical Coordinators, and additional administrative staff who are committed to providing compassionate, respectful, and high-quality supports. Through collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement, our team works to empower every individual to live a meaningful and self-directed life.

Care By Clark provides services without discrimination and is committed to fostering an environment that is inclusive, equitable, and respectful of all individuals.

Our Mission

Care By Clark is committed to enhancing the quality of life for every individual we support. Together, we strive to set the standard for excellence through continuous growth, accountability, and compassionate, person-centered care.

We recognize that all behavior is a form of communication. Behind every behavior is a feeling or an unmet need. Through a Tiered Supports framework, we prioritize proactive, preventative strategies at the universal level to promote stability, skill-building, and meaningful engagement in daily life.

When additional support is needed, we implement targeted and individualized interventions that are data-informed, team-driven, and focused on identifying and addressing the root causes of challenges. Our approach emphasizes teaching new skills, strengthening natural supports, and reducing the need for reactive interventions.

We are committed to ongoing monitoring, collaboration, and continuous improvement through the use of data, team feedback, and person-centered planning. By focusing on each individual’s strengths, preferences, and goals, we empower those we support to build confidence, increase independence, and achieve meaningful outcomes.

With each success, self-esteem is strengthened, and the foundation for lifelong growth and inclusion is built.

Our Values

Care By Clark is committed to upholding our five core values—Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Diversity, and Excellence (PRIDE)—as the foundation of all services and supports. These values guide employee actions, shape our organizational culture, and ensure that services are delivered in a manner consistent with person-centered practices, Department of Mental Health standards, and HCBS principles. What does this mean for us?

  • Perseverance – We remain committed through every challenge

  • Respect – We honor the dignity and individuality of every person

  • Integrity – We do what is right, always

  • Diversity – We embrace differences and promote inclusion

  • Excellence – We strive to provide the highest quality of care

Through the consistent application of PRIDE values, employees support individuals in achieving meaningful outcomes, increasing independence, and enhancing overall quality of life. Our approach promotes dignity, inclusion, and the understanding that behavior is a form of communication. By focusing on individual strengths, preferences, and needs, staff help create environments that reduce barriers and encourage positive engagement.

In addition, these values contribute to building a resilient, accountable, and inclusive organization that is responsive to the needs of both the individuals we support and our workforce.
