Welcome to Life Centers of Kansas
Life Centers of Kansas provides both Residential and Day Program Services to support individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) through Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) for Kansas Medicaid beneficiaries. We are dedicated to providing individualized care that enriches the lives of all those whom we serve. Since our founding in early 2008, we’ve developed the expertise, have accumulated the experience and continually maintain specialized skills to care for individuals who may have more challenging support needs.
Our multi-disciplinary team focuses on care that is catered to the special needs, interests and abilities of each person we serve. Our progressive approach to our Residential Program offers a stark contrast to what may be the traditional perception of group home living. Our Day Service Program focuses on connecting with our community through numerous daily outing options that encourage independence, personal growth and life skill development.
We strive to work closely with each individual’s family and support network to act towards achieving the most enriching lifestyle for each individual we serve. Please feel free to navigate through the options above to learn more about our organization and the services we offer.

“Life Centers of Kansas has been a positive experience for my adult daughter with autism.
She has been given the opportunity to live in a beautiful home. They have helped her become more independent and have supported my husband and I as we navigate through the adult service world. They are the only providers that we have had that also help with medical concerns and will make and take her to appointments. That has been a huge help! They have some of the most patient and caring staff at their day service and in their homes. They've always been available to me whenever I need something. They are all angels in my book! My daughter tells me every time that I see her, "I like my house, mom. I like my house." I would highly recommend them to others without hesitation.”
