Direct Support Professional - Female Client

About us

Pro Care Unlimited is a medium business in Grand Rapids, MI. We are professional and agile, and our goal is to provide Community Living Support services used to improve or maintain the self‑sufficiency of a person. We have highly personalized programs to empower individuals to achieve their goals in many aspects of their lives. Some goals may focus on daily self‑care or activities of daily living (ADLs), while others aim for community inclusion.

The goals both our staff and consumers work on are found in a document called an Individual Plan of Service (IPOS). An IPOS utilizes the consumer’s personal strengths and abilities and is created with respect to his or her choices and wishes. This process begins with the individual at the center and grows outward. Resources from different aspects of the consumer’s life will be used in the planning. The people involved can be teachers, social workers, doctors, friends, family, and coworkers. Using person‑centered planning, our staff helps consumers make decisions regarding their life and support. Together, the team will work hard to identify the necessary resources for the consumer to reach his/her personal goals, articulating in their IPOS all of these objectives and agreements made during the planning process.

Our work environment includes:

• Growth opportunities
• Casual work attire
• On-the-job training
• Flexible working hours
• Lively atmosphere
