About Us

Our Story: Founded in 2018, Second Bloom began with a clear purpose: to support individuals in achieving healthy and productive lives. With ODP approval in May 2024, we now proudly meet Pennsylvania’s highest standards for disability support services

Our Mission: To support individuals with developmental disabilities in achieving greater independence, self-determination, and opportunity—by building strong, collaborative relationships between individuals, their families, and the community.

Our Vision: We envision a world where every individual, regardless of ability, is fully empowered to live a fulfilling life of purpose, inclusion, and dignity.

Core Values: Compassionate, Person-Centered Care, Respect and Dignity, Family and Community Collaboration, Advocacy for Inclusion, Ongoing Improvement and Accountability

 

At Second Bloom, we believe that every individual—regardless of ability—deserves a life full of dignity, choice, and community. Since 2016, our mission has been rooted in one simple but powerful principle: people with disabilities have a right to an everyday life. Not a life of limitations or isolation, but one filled with autonomy, purpose, and meaningful connections.

Our journey began with a single commitment—to provide compassionate, person-centered care to individuals supported through Pennsylvania’s Office of Developmental Programs (ODP). We built our services around what matters most to the people we support and their families: inclusion, independence, and the opportunity to thrive on their own terms.

At Second Bloom, support isn't a task—it’s a relationship. We work side by side with the individuals we serve, teaching coping and self-regulation skills, navigating life transitions, and helping them develop social strategies that promote confidence and stability. Whether we're supporting someone through the intricacies of an Individual Support Plan, guiding their self-determination, or helping families balance their desires with the voice of their loved one, our approach is always respectful, collaborative, and empowering.
