About Star Community
Over forty years ago, Richard and Audrey Tebbs gave birth to their third child,
a baby girl who they named Anita Lynne. Anita Lynne was born with
profound disabilities including cerebral palsy.

Instead of institutionalizing their young daughter (which was customary at that time), the Tebbs transformed their lives into a cause for celebration and founded the Anita Lynne Home in 1970—a place that had the warmth and closeness of family coupled with staff skilled in teaching children with intellectual disabilities. It was their vision to do all of this in a Christian atmosphere.
Today, Star Community remains true to that vision. What began as a home for four young children is now a vibrant, growing organization. We are a community comprised of 9 separate and distinct residences on 145 acres, complete with two greenhouses, an indoor swimming pool, a nature trail, a fishing pond that is completely accessible, and an equestrian riding center. In addition, Star offers a comprehensive range of residential, day program and equestrian opportunities based in faith and executed with love and respect for the individuals served.
In the nearly 40 years since the organization was founded, Star Community, Inc. has emerged as a true leader, offering innovative programs and serving individuals with varying disabilities.
