Our Vision Statement

We provide services and opportunities for individuals with disabilities to explore, participate, and grow in every aspect of their lives in the community. Our vision is to create and inspire a better everyday life for our individuals with developmental disabilities.

Our Mission Statement

Our overall mission is to improve the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) by creating a model center where their needs, wants, and dreams are met and by removing all barriers that prevent them from fully exercising their rights to community inclusion. Our mission is to advance the dignity, equality, and self-determination of people with IDD by creating opportunities for them to participate fully in their desired life. We have a strong emphasis on person-centered philosophy in service delivery and personal wholeness—body, mind, spirit, and emotion. We hope to provide opportunities for coaching and teaching so that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities know and express their rights and fully experience the life they desire in their communities.

Who We Are

The vision for starting Loving Hands LLC started when the founders, Enid and Charles Lusagala and were working in the field of caring for individuals with intellectual disabilities. With over four decades of combined experience in the field of disability service, they developed the desire and passion to make the vision come to life. In 2023, it was finally founded.

Our primary motivation in starting Loving Hands LLC as a Home Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver provider is to coach, teach, and provide quality care to adults with IDD. We also want to give them opportunities to know and exercise their individual rights and fully experience the life they desire in the community. Through a person-centered plan and by respecting their preferences, choices, and abilities, we support the individual's needs and desires. While we acknowledge that we won’t be able to solve all the problems that they experience, we hope that Loving Hands LLC will move the needle in the right direction. With our humble but well-intended efforts, we are hopeful of contributing towards more education, the exercise of individual rights, the achievement of personal goals, a positive community experience, and more community inclusion.
