Our Values

Integrity - We keep our promises, always. Integrity is not just about being good. It’s also about keeping our promises. It means having the courage to choose the right path every time. On good days, bad days, and especially when it’s difficult. Ultimately, the individuals in our care and their families can depend on us at every moment.

High Expectations - We provide extraordinary services, equaling the standard we expect for our own loved ones. We are a large, charitable organization. However, our size does not limit us. When it comes to quality, we are free of constraints. No one has ever achieved excellence by doing things the same way every time. We seek solutions. We embrace new ideas.

Safety - We are courageous on behalf of our members. Our commitment to the common good means that we link physical safety to emotional safety. To be truly safe, we must protect both as if they were the same.

Accountability - We align our efforts to produce extraordinary results. Our definition of accountability means that we care about the needs of our teammates as much as we care about our own. We help our coworkers achieve their goals, recognizing the power of our collective efforts and celebrating mutual victories.

Sustainability - Elwyn’s mission is essential to the world. Small steps. A long horizon. Big results. Elwyn has a rich history, and we deserve to feel proud. We have faced challenges throughout time, but we are resilient. We embrace each challenge as an opportunity to change, innovate, and evolve. Future generations will be proud of the Elwyn we are building today.

For approximately 165 years, Elwyn has been helping people with a wide range of disabilities build independent and meaningful lives.

The concept of the Service Triangle prioritizes and conjoins Elwyn’s three essential groups.

The individuals in our care, their beloved families, and our exceptional staff all collaborate inside a deeply connected community, actively shaping meaningful lives. Inside the heart of the Elwyn Service Triangle, we focus on what’s important to us. Not job titles. Not lines of authority. We know that what works is when people take care of people.

We create our legacy every day.

A challenging history shows the strength of our leadership. Our founders saw a better way.
Elwyn is the longest-running human services nonprofit of its kind in the nation. Elwyn is the birthplace of many practices, models of service and traditions of the disabilities community, and it has served as the training ground and springboard for thousands of practitioners and staff who now work throughout the region and beyond.

Today, we continue to create opportunities where there once were none. We must honor our history—while moving forward and envisioning our future.
