About Us: Overview

Mainstay Life Services is a nonprofit organization providing residential services and other supports to individuals with developmental disabilities, and their families. We are committed to assisting the people in our care to reach their fullest potentials within their communities.

Our services include 24-hour full-care homes, semi-independent living, supported living (less than 30 hours per week of assistance), lifesharing, host-home, and in-home care. We also provide a range of community support options including transportation, habilitation, special therapies, and a summer camp program.

Mainstay Life Services began in the late 1960s as two separate agencies who merged in 1999. The organization now serves 175 individuals in over 55 homes located throughout Allegheny County. Our summer camp serves an additional 90-100 adults who reside with their families during the remainder of the year.

In all that we do, we emphasize sensitivity, respect, dignity, compassion, and responsiveness to individual needs.

Mainstay Life Services is supported by federal, state, and county government funding, as well as foundation grants and other private donations.
