The Solution to Your Labor and Staffing Concerns
Together, We Can Improve Lives
They say if you want to go far, go together—and we agree. That’s why GoodLife partners with mission-driven organizations across the country to achieve win-win-win solutions for sustainably improving the lives of people who need support and the direct support professionals (DSPs) who provide care. When you partner with GoodLife U, everyone benefits. Together we can share resources, leverage costs, and increase capacity while preserving your agency’s independence and improving your bottom-line.
We are passionate about sharing what we’ve learned over the years with service providers like us. That’s why we’ve developed our GoodLife U Vlog Series.

Reimagine Your Service Models
We are kicking off a new season of GoodLife U’s Video Blog this month with an episode about GoodLife’s 36 and 48 hour pay contingency. It’s time to embrace change and that’s what GoodLife U is all about. We want to help you deliver better, more stable services and we're going to spend 2022 looking further forward. Our upcoming episodes will help you with gaining that proverbial inch or foot of ground. Before you know it, we’ll be able to look back and see just how far we’ve come.
