Trusted Disability Support Services in Tucson
Ucpsa (UCPSA) has been a trusted advocate for individuals with disabilities and the elderly since 1962. Our organization specializes in home-based services, including Attendant Care, Respite Care, and Habilitation, empowering clients to maintain independence in their own homes. Through our Individualized Designed Living Arrangements (IDLA) program, we support adults with developmental disabilities in achieving self-sufficient living. Our WorkAbility employment services prepare individuals with disabilities for sustainable careers, partnering with local employers to foster inclusive workplaces. With a team of 100 administrative staff and 750 direct care workers, we ensure personalized care through certified professionals who undergo rigorous training.

Our services operate 24/7, funded by partnerships with the Division of Developmental Disabilities, Banner Health, and private pay. We prioritize dignity, diversity, and quality of life, as evidenced by our acquisition of Southern Arizona Family Services in 2024 to expand our community impact. Our CPR and First Aid training courses, certified by the American Red Cross, further support our mission by equipping the public with lifesaving skills while funding our programs. With administrative offices in Tucson, Green Valley, and Yuma, we serve Pima, Santa Cruz, and Yuma counties. Our commitment to transparency, client-centered care, and community collaboration has solidified our reputation as a leader in disability support services.
