Breadth and depth of experience. Families and placement agencies trust and rely on our 100-year history of service. The adult you place with us will live in a comfortable group home setting and learn to become as independent as possible. Many individuals work in meaningful sheltered jobs further providing dignity and independence. Simple admissions process provides you with a continuum of care. Our flexible application process allows family members, case managers and advocates to seek placement with personalized and timely response to questions about the programs. We encourage site visits as well. |

Individualized case management allows adults in our care to receive services encompassing all major life domains -- living arrangements, education, legal, financial, religious, relationships, occupation, health, safety and family. Our resident to staff ratio assures outstanding care for the adult you place with us.
Unique leadership experience based on a bedrock of Christian values: We are a ministry of nurture, healing and encouragement. PHFS’s goal is to help the adult in our care reach his or her full God-given potential. Our experienced staff works in close partnership with church and community resources to help meet all the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of every adult entrusted to our care.
Six core values guide all of our services and programs:
-
WE VALUE each resident as an individual and honor his or her achievements, efforts and courage.
-
WE VALUE the opportunity to be a caretaker and guest in the resident’s home.
-
WE VALUE providing choices and options for each resident concerning living arrangements, education, legal affairs, finances, religion, relationships, occupation, health, safety and family.
-
WE VALUE the dignity of risk in pursuing quality of life.
-
WE VALUE the home environment which encourages personal pride for each resident and home.
Dedicated and highly experienced professional staff. PHFS takes great pride in the professional qualifications and depth of experience of our distinguished staff. Continuing education and in-house staff training keep our people at the front edge of development in the care of mentally challenged adults.
