Midwest Community Services

Midwest Community is dedicated to being a valued asset to the community, focusing on offering person-centered, community-based supports to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Founded by Joe and Kristine Knetzer in 2000, the community emphasizes treating families who seek support services as part of their own family. Their mission is to enhance the lives of those they serve through nurturing relationships and community integration. The Midwest Family of Companies operates several community centers across Northeast Ohio, designed to support individuals in leading the lives they choose by providing meaningful life experiences. Each individual is encouraged to discover their potential and is supported through vocational skills development, recreational activities, and community integration.
