Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Since 1970
What is your primary product or service?
We are an independent living center that serves the disabled population in the region.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We serve all disabilities and cover life issues from birth to death. Unlike other charities that focus on one specific illness, disability or disease and the opportunity for a cure. We focus on living in the "now" and helping people be as independent as they can be in this moment in their lives.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have one main office but we are planning on building an accessible sports and recreation center just beyond our current location. We do programming all over the region in numerous locations.
Provide detailed directions to your location
We are just west of the St. Louis Science Center on Oakland Avenue, just off Interstate 64 (Highway 40).
Which areas do you service?
We serve St. Louis City, St. Louis, Gasconade & Franklin Counties.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
We are a nonprofit with a CEO and a Board of Directors.
What are your hours of operation?
We are open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, but we offer classes in the evening.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
That we are good stewards for the funds we are given and excellent service providers.
