Mandala Community

Founded in 2022 by a couple whose daughter is on the IDD waiver, Mandala was built from personal experience and deep empathy. The founders understand firsthand the challenges and daily responsibilities of caring for a loved one who requires 24/7 support.

Mandala’s Co-Founder and Executive Director is a social worker with over 20 years of experience supporting vulnerable populations across psychiatric residential treatment facilities, behavioral health centers, crisis intervention services, child welfare agencies, and medical hospitals. As a medical case manager in local hospital emergency departments and family practice, she coordinated safe discharge planning and outpatient services for medically complex adults.
