Mission, Vision and Values

The caring professionals at Monarch work diligently to provide a safe and nurturing, trauma-informed environment for each person. Staff provide individualized services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and mental illnesses as well as support and counseling for those with substance use challenges.

Relationships are a priority.

We involve the people we serve in the process of selecting those who will work with them or live with them. We understand that the best service is provided within a positive relationship. Staff tell us they love their jobs – maybe that’s why so many have been with Monarch for decades. At Monarch, our dream is to see the people we support live their dreams. We are here to help individuals achieve their goals and dreams. We work to make those dreams real, whatever it takes.

Monarch is nationally accredited by The Joint Commission. To learn how Monarch offers support to people in our communities, call (866) 272-7826. Monarch employs approximately 1,800 employees, many who work with individuals and their families to identify and overcome many of the barriers they often face by providing varying levels of support. Our residential, community , employment and vocational services can help people to have their own homes, to work, if they choose; and own a business. As a trauma-informed company, Monarch’s specialists are here to assist people through tough times and to celebrate the successes.
