About the Kent Center of Maryland

Philosophy

Kent Center’s mission is to support adults with developmental disabilities reach their full potential, ensuring their safety and well-being, and treating them with dignity and respect. Kent Center is the only DDA provider with headquarters in Kent County, Maryland. We strive to provide excellent support in Kent, Queen Anne’s, Cecil and Caroline Counties through Meaningful Day, Residential, Respite and Employment Services for people with developmental disabilities.  Kent Center’s services are tailored to meet the specific needs of each person we support, focused on enhancing their lives as well as the lives of their families. Family members of adults with disabilities are able to create support network of friends and engage with staff to provide a safe and nurturing environment where the people we support can flourish.

Core Values

Kent Center believes that every person has the right to make choices in their own life and reach their fullest potential while being treated with dignity and respect.  Our organization and all of the people we support are expected to embrace our Core Values of being Caring, Accountable, Organized, Respectful, and Positive.  Together, we are enhancing all lives by creating hometown connections and helping the people we support actively participate in a meaningful life.
