Empower

Empower is a multifaceted organization dedicated to aiding individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as the elderly. Since its establishment in 1954, the company has evolved to offer a wide array of services. These encompass site-based housing, in-home and community supports, job training, and day programs for individuals with disabilities. Additionally, Empower provides integrated preschool special education programs for children with developmental disabilities, audiology, podiatry, dental and wheelchair clinics. In 2017, Empower for Elders was introduced, specifically catering to the daytime activities and care for older adults and offering respite for their caregivers. Notably, these services are focused within Niagara County, although some individuals from Erie County also benefit from their provisions. The company's slogan, "Helping people to live the lives they choose," underscores its commitment to empowerment and individual choice within the communities it serves. Although specific details regarding the industries and headquarters of Empower have not been disclosed, given the breadth and significance of its services, it presents itself as an intriguing prospect for potential venture capital interest.
