Direct Support Professional (DSP)
About the Company
Excel Supported Living's mission is to support the individuals in our direct care to reach their true potential beyond anyone’s expectations. We grew out of a desire to establish a professional agency based in Eastern Washington to support individuals with mental, physiological, behavioral, physical, and developmental disabilities, and we want them to be able to live in their own homes. The entire focus of Excel Supported Living is to create individual homes with an environment built specifically for each of our individuals/residents. Our homes allow individuals to make their own choices related to living and interacting with others within their home and their communities. Supported living is not the same as assisted living.
