STAR Services

STAR Services We offer supports and solutions to help providers ​better serve people receiving support. Who works with STAR Services?

STAR Services is a unique company designed to meet the changing needs in the human services field. Founded in 1998, STAR Services has recognized and met the needs of individuals, service providers, families, and staff, to enhance the services being provided to people receiving supports. We provide a variety of supports and solutions including temporary staffing, live and online training, program s

upport and compliance consulting, and person-centered planning. The services we provide are as unique and diverse as the agencies and people we work with and are tailored to meet each agency’s specific requirements. In an uncertain political and financial climate, our customers look for solutions to their organizational needs that may not require them to bring individuals onto their payroll. Many customers often use our supports heavily through times of change, expansion, or uncertainty and then taper back when needs stabilize. Other customers use us permanently for certain tasks or supports as part of their organizational design. Through training, consulting, or customized supports, STAR Services will help you gain the skills, understanding, and confidence to succeed in this field. We work with every imaginable type of disability provider. Our customers are large and small, rural and urban, established and emerging, and represent residential, vocational, and in-home services. Are you looking to start a company to serve individuals with disabilities? Is your agency trying to ensure that services are being provided in compliance with rules and regulations? Are you interested in incorporating person centered philosophies into your service design? Are you growing or expanding into new service areas and need help to better understand and implement your plans? These are only some of the ways that STAR Services can help: Learn all applicable information related to your needs and questions; grow in your understanding of service delivery and design; and excel in the care you provide to individuals. Our consultants, trainers, and staffing experts are excited and ready to assist you in your areas of need! We hope you will consider STAR Services as a partner in providing excellent services to individuals with disabilities. We look forward to earning and keeping your business!
