The Daybreak Group of Companies began in 1978 with the opening of the Lancaster Residential Center, a large Intermediate Care Facility (ICF/IDD) for individuals with developmental disabilities. Lancaster Residential Center voluntarily closed in 2010 in order to better support the people who lived there in smaller, community-based group home settings. was founded in 1997 to provide a wide array of
Home and Community-based Medicaid-funded waiver services (HCS) to individuals with developmental disabilities. Since that time, Daybreak has experienced rapid growth. Daybreak has continued to expand across Texas during the last decade, now operating approximately 170 HCS waiver and ICF/IDD group homes as well as providing services in individual‘s own homes, foster care settings and day habilitation sites. Services to over 1200 people throughout Texas are currently provided through the ICF/IDD, HCS, Texas Home Living, and Deaf/Blind Multi-disability Medicaid Waivers, and through private pay and third-party contract payers. The Daybreak Group management team has extensive experience in developing and managing programs for people with disabilities. Daybreak maintains a long-term commitment to provide innovative supports and community services. Daybreak's solid foundation supports an environment in which each person may make and achieve goals, while experiencing community life at its fullest. Our goal at Daybreak is to ensure that individuals supported through Daybreak services have the opportunities they choose and cherish. Daybreak's focus is on supporting people in their quest for personal growth, while staying "out of their way" so that they are able to live "their way".
