Built on Passion. Driven by Purpose.

The organization is built on a core philosophy of passion and a commitment to providing quality support for individuals and families across Kentucky. We view quality support as a collaboration — and we strive to build solid, trusting relationships with all clients, families, and partners.

Our Vision
A Kentucky where every individual with a disability has equal access to compassionate, high-quality support — empowering them to thrive in their own communities.

Navigating Kentucky Disability Services Shouldn't Feel Overwhelming

Community Inclusion KY was founded on the belief that every family deserves a provider who shows up, builds real relationships, and provides support that truly makes a difference.

From our first days providing Kentucky Medicaid waiver services, we've grown steadily by staying true to one mission: person-centered, community-first care for every stage of life. That growth led us to become one of the first agencies in Kentucky authorized to provide the new CHILD Waiver — a milestone we're incredibly proud of.

Today, Community Inclusion KY serves individuals and families across Kentucky through programs spanning waiver services, child stabilization, behavioral health, iRise, and DCBS foster care supports.

"We built this organization to be the kind of agency we would want for our own families."

Our Core Values

Six principles guide everything we do at Community Inclusion KY.

Empowerment

We support individuals to make their own choices and direct their own lives — on their own terms.

Belonging

Everyone deserves to feel connected to their community — we work every day to make that a reality.

Community

We believe healing, growth, and independence happen best in the community — not in a facility.

Stability

We provide consistent, reliable support so individuals and families know they can count on us.

Independence

Our goal is always to build skills and confidence — not to create dependence on services.

Connection

We build genuine, trusting relationships with every client, family, and partner we serve.
