In Honor of Lifesharing Month, we’ve been highlighting our incredible Providers and VIPs, and today, we wrap up the month with one of the most loving, strongest, and truly inspiring bonds to come out of Lifesharing. 💙🏠💚

Today, we’re proud to celebrate and recognize Provider, Adrienne Vasiliou and VIP, Jimmy!

Adrienne and Jimmy shared 14 wonderful years together, filled with laughter, friendship, and countless memories. From attending Iron Pigs games and the Bloomsburg Fair to cruises and church activities, their journey together has been nothing short of amazing.

Jimmy quickly became part of Adrienne’s family, always lending a helping hand around the house, proudly taking on “Jimmy’s jobs,” and bringing joy with his love for Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.

Adrienne shared that her time with Jimmy has been one of the greatest blessings of her life. Though he has since moved on to a new chapter, their bond remains unbreakable as Adrienne visits him whenever she can. Their story is a beautiful reminder of the love, growth, and lifelong connections that Lifesharing makes possible. 💙🏠💚

The C.A.R.E.S. Story

C.A.R.E.S., Inc. is a family organization that was founded in 2013 by sisters Sheila Davison, CEO and Lori Miller, President which led to the beginning of our Lifesharing Program in December 2013 followed by the opening of the first all-inclusive, Community Based Day Program in February 2014. Today, C.A.R.E.S., Inc. has expanded to C.A.R.E.S. of Western, PA and C.A.R.E.S. of Central, PA operating thirteen (13) all-inclusive, Community Based Day Programs and offering 6 different services across 16 counties in Pennsylvania.

C.A.R.E.S. provides person-centered services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We specialize in connecting our self-advocating VIP’s (participants) with opportunities to be family focused, self-determined, individualized, person centered, and strength based. We optimize their opportunities for community participation and inclusion, growth, independence and job readiness all through our all-inclusive day programs as well as providing an opportunity for long-term support from caring families and individuals within our Lifesharing program.

At CARES the participants are the VIP’s!

The mission of C.A.R.E.S. is to provide high quality services and supports that maximize each individual’s potential, opportunities, relationships, community involvement, as well as their health and wellness. Our vision is to create community‐based services empowering individuals by creating an environment where the individual’s rights and culture are recognized and respected with services that are self‐determined, person centered, and family focused.
