About Highpointe Care

Highpointe Care is a person-centered service provider supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). We offer individualized services that promote independence, community inclusion, employment, creative expression, residential living, and lifelong personal growth.

Our “Without Walls” philosophy means services extend beyond traditional program settings. We help individuals learn, work, socialize, and grow within their communities rather than limiting services to a single location.
