For nearly 40 years, Star Community, Inc. has provided innovative programs and services for individuals with developmental disabilities. Located on 145 acres of beautiful countryside in Hagerstown, Maryland, the setting is idyllic and the facilities are truly first class.

In addition to 9 separate residences, there is a day program, a nature trail, a fishing pond, an indoor swimming pool and the largest therapeutic equestrian center in the region that specializes in working with individuals with a wide range of disabilities – individuals both young and old.

Star Community, Inc. is dedicated to helping each and every person it serves develop their skills, pursue their ambitions, and increase their independence. Our caring and dedicated staff is some 95 employees strong – and growing. Part of our mission is to open hearts and minds and in so doing, open new doors. That vision is made a reality by the enthusiasm and dedication of a very special group of people – the staff at Star Community.

Teamwork

Our staff are valued members of a team that provides service and support to Star's family of residents and other program participants. dinner Learning is a lifelong endeavor and Star encourages its employees to enhance their own skills, to reach higher, and to expand their breadth of knowledge.

Dedication

Whether the title is direct support staff, house manager, resident support staff, crew leader, nurse, dietician, administrative support or department director, each and every member of the staff is deeply dedicated to the mission, more trusted mentor and friend than caregiver or service coordinator. Promoting from within and providing personal growth opportunities contribute to longevity of our staff and that longevity is so important to ensure the quality of care that our residents and their families have come to expect.
