Capable care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities so they may experience a life of abundant possibilities. We believe in the GOD-given worth of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and commit to advocate for their full rights; we believe our nonprofit, faith-based agency CAN operate efficiently and effectively through public, community and corporate partnerships; we believe people with intellectual and developmental disabilities should have as much control over their lives as possible and be offered opportunities to express personal choices; we believe in offering residential and community support with excellence, to maximize the unique abilities, safety, health, welfare and self-esteem of each person we support; we believe a joint commitment with families/guardians is essential in order to ACT responsibly in addressing the current and future needs of those we support. We believe a well-trained staff, committed to the mission and vision of cedar LAKE, will successfully offer a high level of compassionate, capable care, responsive to the needs of the mind, BODY, and spirit of the people we support.
