Paulding Enterprises is a private, not-for-profit 501 ( c ) exempted organization that provides services to adults, over the age of 21, with mental retardation and developmental disabilities. Paulding Enterprises formally Paulding Retardation Association was established in 1972 to provide day care and respite services for persons with mental retardation and developmental disabilities who were not served by the public school system. Since its beginnings, Paulding Enterprises has met the needs of many individuals with disabilities and their families by providing quality supports and services. Paulding Enterprises has earned Three Year National Accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities CARF. When surveyed by CARF during 2005 the survey committee made the following observations: The board of directors and executive director represent many years of service to the organization. Together they provide vision, leadership, direction and structure to the organization. The organization has an excellent training program for staff members, providing them with the support and information they need to carry out their job duties. The dedication of staff members is commended and is manifested in a variety of ways, including their longevity, commitment to those they serve, the quality of care provided and their enthusiasm.
