About Us
Four A’s Helping Lives was born from our shared passion for helping individuals with cognitive disabilities and autism live full, happy, and meaningful lives. Al has dedicated over 30 years to managing and coordinating group homes, and Angie is a special education teacher who has supported students as they learn, grow, and discover independence. We created a true home where adults are seen, valued, and empowered.
Care that feels like family—safe, welcoming, and empowering.
We’re a small, family‑centered group home supporting adults with cognitive disabilities and autism through compassionate routines, positive behavioral supports, and meaningful community life.
