Meet our Team of Specialists
Intersect Services is owned differently than similar companies in the area, so our longevity gives you a unique experience. We formed as an Independent Support Coordination company in 2010, with Debbie Pearson, Carol Griggs, and Kimberly LeRoux. A month later, Shonna Smiley came on board from the home health care field and we’ve earned several community service awards in the process. The four of us all worked for the Division of Services for People with Disabilities before forming Intersect Services, giving us over 100 years of experience in this field.
Our Process
We limit the number of cases between our team members, which means more individualized attention for you. After receiving a waiver from the state saying you qualify for disabilities, Intersect coordinates with various agencies to determine the right services for you or your family member. Then we work towards getting the services implemented for you. Afterwards, we continually check in with you, answering any questions or making adjustments as needed.
