Our guiding values are the foundation of Daybreak: a foundation built to foster an environment where all are encouraged to make and achieve their own personal dreams.

Our goal at Daybreak is to ensure each person supported through Daybreak services has the opportunities they choose and cherish. Daybreak’s focus is on supporting people in their quest for personal growth so that each can experience a Dawn of New Opportunities.
HISTORY
The Daybreak Group of Companies began in 1978 with the opening of the Lancaster Developmental Center, a large Intermediate Care Facility (ICF/MR) for individuals with developmental disabilities. In the late 80’s and 90’s, seven additional ICF/MR homes were opened in the Dallas County, Texas area. The Daybreak ICF-MR program currently serves 102 individuals.
Daybreak Community Services, Inc. was founded in 1997 to provide a wide array of Home and Community-based (HCS Medicaid-funded waiver) services to individuals with developmental disabilities. Since that time Daybreak has experienced rapid growth. At the end of the first year of operation, 48 individuals received HCS services from Daybreak. Eight Daybreak group homes were opened that year in Fort Worth and Lubbock, Texas.
In addition to the ICF-MR services, Daybreak currently operates over 50 HCS waiver group homes and also provides services in individual's own homes, foster care settings and day habilitation sites. Services to over 500 people throughout Texas are currently provided by Daybreak through the ICF/MR, HCS, Texas Home Living, and Deaf/Blind Multi-disability Medicaid Waivers, and through private pay and third-party contract payers.
Throughout the state, services are developed under the direction of individuals with extensive backgrounds in Developmental Disability programs. The Daybreak Group management team has an average of over twenty years experience each in developing and managing programs for people with disabilities.
Daybreak maintains a long-term commitment to provide innovative supports and community services to people with disabilities. Daybreak's solid foundation supports an environment in which each person may make and achieve goals, while experiencing community life at its fullest.
