Our supports are delivered where they matter: at home, out in Chester County, and soon at our Community Participation & Training Center, which will combine hands on skill development with meaningful time in the surrounding community.
Purpose. Creating Possibilities.

Why choose Vet Fixer
Small on purpose. Serious about the details.
Six reasons families and supports coordinators pick us, in the order they usually matter.
Veteran founded
Founded by a United States Air Force veteran. You look after the people beside you, and you plan for what could go wrong.
Person centered care
The individual is in the room when their plan is written, and the plan is written in language they can read.
Community partnerships
Libraries, employers, volunteer hosts and local organizations. Community means the real one, not a room labeled community.
Individualized attention
A small provider by choice. You will know the name of whoever answers the phone and whoever supports your family member.
Experienced leadership
A leadership team and advisory board with healthcare, nursing, bilingual advocacy and Pennsylvania ODP experience behind them.
Safe, welcoming environment
Dignity, compassion, accountability and respect. Every decision we make is measured against those four.
Day programming
An Adult Training Facility and CPS Community Participation Supports Hub.
Vet Fixer’s day program is built around one idea: learn it at the hub, use it in the community. Adults with intellectual disabilities and autism spend their day building practical skills at our Coatesville facility, then putting those skills to work across Chester County.
Skills at the hub
Hands on, structured learning: cooking and meal prep, budgeting, laundry and home skills, technology, creative arts, and career readiness.
Out in the community
Community Participation Supports at libraries, parks, local businesses, volunteer sites and community events, chosen with each person around their goals.
Built around each person
Activities, outings and goals are set with the individual and the people who know them best, and they change as interests and goals change.
Wellness and confidence
Fitness, nutrition, communication, self advocacy and community safety run through the whole day, so independence keeps growing.
