Why Choose KHS?

“My DSP has been one of my greatest influences right now. If I have a problem, I just go to him. I feel like I’m on the right path right now.”

“Something that’s really rewarding about our job is helping people with new experiences. I’ve accompanied people to concerts, I’ve flown on a place so someone could see their family they hadn’t seen in fifteen years. I’ve gone to the Poconos. These are things that ‘normal’ people do, and the people we support are no different than you or me.” –Direct Support Professional of ten years

“I really enjoy working with my team, from CSPs (Community Support Professionals) all the way up to leadership. I have an amazing group of people that I work with. They are very reliable. They are very trustworthy. They are people who will give you honest feedback, which is always good because it promotes professional growth with in you. We all come from different backgrounds and have a lot of knowledge, skills, and abilities to offer here at Keystone.” –Director of Autism Services

“Just being a part of helping someone have a great day or helping someone through a not so great day and just helping them move from one aspect of their lives to another—for me it’s rewarding and that’s definitely what keeps me coming back.” –Service Director
