In the 1950’s, Scranton, Pennsylvania community leaders and service organizations created an alliance dedicated to improving and expanding services to people with disabilities.  From the beginning, Allied Services began to provide vocational training opportunities to individuals in the community.  The Allied healthcare system, founded in the early 1960’s, now is one of the country’s most diverse not-for-profit providers of rehabilitative, vocational, home care and residential services.

Lynett Village, consisting of 3 cottage-homes with 14 residents each, was dedicated in 1967 to provide residential treatment and support services to mentally retarded children and adolescents.  In 1980, Lynett Village was licensed as an Intermediate Care Facility for adults with mental retardation/developmental disabilities. 

The William Warren Scranton Residence opened on 1970 and is home to 42 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Our community-based ICF’s opened in the mid to late 1980’s and continue to provide active treatment services in the Scranton and Carbondale areas.

The Community Living Arrangement Waiver Program is a home which opened in 2001 in Taylor, PA.  

All Intermediate Care Facilities for individuals with developmental disabilities provide continuous qualified supervision and medical care, ongoing psychological and social services and active treatment.  All residential programs embrace the principles of Positive Approaches.  Its purpose is to support people to grow and develop, to make their own decisions, to achieve their personal goals, to develop relationships and to enjoy life as fully participating members of the community.
