“I have personally experienced the challenges that families face with finding resources to assist both disabled children and elders to live at home safely,” said Rena Hannaford, CEO. “Two of my siblings had developmental disabilities and medical issues and there were limited resources to assist our family. And my aging mother needed resources to help her continue to live independently, as she wished. I felt it important for us to help families struggling with similar issues by launching a new division solely dedicated to this mission.”
