Living In Fulfilling Environments (L.I.F.E.), Inc. is a private, non-profit organization devoted to providing a wide range of community-based experiences and supports to individuals with developmental disabilities in Rhode Island in a non-discriminatory manner.

      Our staff and management team is committed to the individuals they are hired to work for and are well-versed in promoting support environments and providing opportunities for both independence and growth.

      Founders Lawrence and Mary Ann Wiedenhofer have held professional positions in the field of Social Service since the onset of their careers in 1975. They established L.I.F.E. Inc. in October of 1986 and began full-service operation in April of 1987 with two group home residencies.

      Over the past twenty-four years our services have changed but our focus has not. We now operate fourteen 24-hour supportive group home residencies throughout the State of Rhode Island in addition to numerous Day Program, Family and PARI services. Throughout, our primary concern has been to provide quality, community-integrated support for the individuals we serve. The framework of our mission and vision are clear:

Support - Choice - Empowerment
