About Kaiser Home Support Services

The agency was incorporated on March 20, 1981 as a nonprofit domestic corporation in the state of Indiana as “The Floyd County Foundation for the Handicapped, Inc.” It was an exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. A Board of Directors consisting of area business persons and parents of children with disabilities was formed.

In 1992, the agency began providing respite services in Floyd County, Indiana and three surrounding counties. By 1994, our reach had expanded to ten counties. Our range of services also increased when Medicaid Waiver and Choice Program services were added. These program additions allowed the agency to better support our mission and vision by expanding our client base to include not only those persons with Developmental Disabilities, but also those who were aged or disabled due to illness associated with age.

In 1994, we took the name Southern Indiana Respite Services. Through 2004, we continued to provide quality care, adding programs including Social Block Grant Title III and the Support Services Waiver that increased our ability to support our community.
