About Unitus Family Services
At Unitus Family Services, we get to know the people we support—their interests, routines and goals. We provide day, community, residential and in-home services that help individuals build skills and stay connected to the people and activities that matter to them.
We value the relationships we build with individuals and their families. Whether someone is joining a day program or exploring a new home, we want them to feel welcome, heard and supported.
Together We Strengthen Communities
Annual Family and Friends Day
Our annual Family & Friends Day brings the individuals we support, their families, friends and our team together to enjoy time with one another. With food, music, games and activities, it’s a chance to catch up, meet new people and make memories outside the usual routine.
Families are part of our Unitus community. This day gives us an opportunity to celebrate those connections and the people who make Unitus special.
