Home » Who We Are
Founded in 2016, Elites Care provides individualized home- and community-based services for children and adults with developmental disabilities. We work in partnership with each person, their family, support coordinator, and other members of the support team to deliver services that reflect the individual’s goals, preferences, strengths, culture, and authorized support plan.
Our leadership team brings more than 30 years of combined direct-support and management experience. That experience guides our commitment to dependable service, responsive communication, regulatory compliance, and meaningful outcomes for the people we support.
Our mission is to provide individualized, person-centered supports that help people with developmental disabilities build skills, exercise choice, maintain meaningful relationships, and participate fully in their communities.
Our vision is a future in which every person with a developmental disability is respected, included, and supported to direct a meaningful life in the community of their choice.
Quality is an organization-wide responsibility at Elites Care. Our dedicated quality assurance team monitors service delivery, reviews documentation and regulatory compliance, follows up on identified concerns, and supports continuous improvement across our programs.
We seek feedback from the individuals we support, families, support coordinators, other members of each person's support team, and our direct support professionals. This collaborative approach helps us recognize what is working, respond to concerns, strengthen staff performance, and improve the overall service experience.
The quality of our services depends on the people providing them. Before an applicant is hired or assigned to a direct-care position, Elites Care uses a multi-step screening process that includes:
Staff must also complete required orientation, person-specific training, competency-based training, and ongoing retraining before working independently and throughout their employment. Our expectations extend beyond minimum qualifications. Team members must demonstrate professionalism, reliability, respect, sound judgment, and a genuine commitment to person-centered support.
Elites Care supports individuals across three jurisdictions:
Services are available throughout all eight wards of the District of Columbia.
Services are available in communities across all five DBHDS regions.
Services are available throughout the Central, Northeast, Southeast, and Western ODP regions.
