To Our Parents & Guardians

It's A Constant Concern
Your family's grown. You're in what's called your golden years... And what's always been on your mind is whether or not your developmentally disabled son or daughter will truly be well taken care of when you're no longer here for them. Or perhaps it's your brother or sister who's here at the Fort Wayne State Developmental Center and you now have the responsibility for them.

As the Fort Wayne Center targets closing on June 30, 2007
It can't be easy to contemplate the future now that it's official and the Developmental Center is truly closing.

We're here to help
But we're here to help. We're here to keep your loved ones safe and to help them make a successful transition to community life. And be assured. We're committed to placing your loved ones in the best setting specifically for him or her.

We have good people
And we recognize that there are good, caring people on staff here at Fort Wayne. People who care deeply for your son or daughter or sister or brother. People who buy gifts for "their ladies" or "their guys" out of their own monies and who love your folks so much that they take them to their own homes to share family dinners and to simply enjoy their company.

With your loved one's interests at heart
These are the people at the Fort Wayne State Developmental Center who have made it their mission to help prepare your loved one for their new life in the community.

After all, it's all about the people, isn't it?
