About Us
Generate excitement
PurposePath, Inc. is a Los Angeles and Orange County corporation that helps adults with developmental disabilities and their families live with stability, dignity, and possibility.
We provide five connected services under one roof:
• PurposePath Community Supports - Coordinated Family Support for adults living at home with their families
• PurposePath Independent Living Services - skill-building for adults working toward independent living
• PurposePath Supported Living Services - ongoing support for adults in their own homes
• PurposePath Workforce Development - vocational assessment, job placement, and job coaching toward competitive employment
• PurposePath Transportation - Coming Soon
Most providers offer one or two of these. Families end up coordinating four or five different companies, each with its own intake process, billing cycle, and contact list. We built PurposePath so that one team knows you, one team coordinates with the Regional Center on your behalf, and one team is accountable when something needs to be made right.
We are a California stock corporation in good standing, with S-Corporation tax election. Our staff are background-checked, trained, and W-2 employees with workers compensation coverage. We carry one million dollars in general liability, professional liability, and abuse and molestation insurance.
We are vendored or pursuing vendorization with all seven Regional Centers serving Los Angeles County and Orange County, plus the California Department of Rehabilitation for supported employment services.
We answer the phone. We return calls within four business hours during weekdays. We document everything in writing. We walk alongside families for as long as they need us.
