Formerly UCP of South Central PA, PennCares has been serving individuals and families across the region for more than 60 years.

Founded in 1962, PennCares began as a small service provider and advocate for children with disabilities. Over the decades, we have grown alongside our neighbors—expanding our reach and broadening our programs to meet the diverse needs of children, adults, and older adults across South Central Pennsylvania.

Today, PennCares offers a wide range of services, from early intervention and child development programs to in-home care and support for older adults and adults with disabilities. Throughout our history, we’ve remained committed to serving every person and family with kindness, consideration, and competence.

If you or someone you love needs support—whether it’s extra help at home after surgery, therapeutic intervention for a child, or daily companionship and care—PennCares is, just as we have been for more than half a century, here for you.
