We are Hiring Now !!! Start Immediately!!

Rocky Mountain Independence is a small agency that provides services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They are no different then you or I. They have the same thoughts, feelings, dreams, and desires as we do so our philosophy is to treat them as we would like to be treated, with respect and kindness.

All of our clients are high functioning and we give them a safe environment to be themselves, without humiliation or disrespect. To learn and grow through modeling by example, to safely work through their challenges with positive communication and mentoring. We thrive on making a difference in their lives and help them become as independent as they possibly can be. We give them choices and place to use their voice. Our program is for them, why not let them tell us how we can best support them.

RMI is like a family starting with the staff and carried on through the clients and the families we serve. That is one of the reasons most of our clients have been with us for 11+ years.

They all are so wonderful and will warm your heart and make you laugh like you never have before. You will find a love in your heart you never knew you had. I guarantee you; they will teach you more than we could ever teach them.
