About KenCrest’s Adult Community Medical Homes
KenCrest’s adult community medical homes provide a community living option for individuals diagnosed with intellectual disabilities and have complex medical needs. All of our medical homes are in the state of Pennsylvania (Montgomery County) and meet or exceed PA state licensing requirements.
Healthy, Safe, and Hazard-Free
KenCrest strives to ensure that each community living home is safe, clean, and hazard-free. All KenCrest homes are licensed and fully comply with, and in most cases exceed, the requirements set forth by State guidelines.
All KenCrest adult community medical homes are located in safe communities that are fully accessible and equipped with proper lighting.
Comprehensive Medical Supports
Two nurses staff each home 24 hours a day. Additionally, at least one residential care worker staffs the homes at all times.

- Occupational, physical, and speech therapy programs

Person-Centered Planning and a Meaningful Life
Each individual who has an Individual Support Plan (ISP), Individual Education Plan (IEP), Individual Habilitation Plan (IHP), or Individual Program Plan (IPP) has a customized person-centered plan.
Person-centered plans focus on each person, their individuality, and interests. Person-centered plans:
- Create a vision for each person’s future
- Focus on what’s important to each person — goals, dreams, and how to communicate those
- Give freedom to decide and to change decisions
- Let and individual decide how their life looks
- Encourage a person to try new things and acquire new skills
- Allow a choice in who provides support and how that support looks
- Let an individual decide with whom they live and share their life
- Defines how a person is treated/related to
At KenCrest, we not only support person-centered planning but make it a priority through our in-house program called Meaningful Life. This program seeks to identify and develop programming that increases an individual’s quality of life based on their unique desires, preferences, and goals.
