Who We Are

Developmental Disability Services Rooted in Community, Care, Work, Housing, and Independence

The People Behind Our Care

At Five Star Industries, our team delivers developmental disability services with compassion, patience, and the practical support individuals and families need to feel confident in everyday life. We treat each person as an individual.

Every role is focused on helping people build skills, stay healthy, and feel at home in their communities. We work together as one team.

Support for Work and Home

Across our programs, developmental disability services include community day services, vocational training, residential supports, and life-skills coaching that help people participate more fully in everyday life. We partner with individuals and families to match the right supports to their goals, whether that means a new job, a stable home, or greater independence.

Your Support Changes Everyday Lives

Gifts to Five Star Industries help us maintain safe homes, meaningful day programs, and opportunities for people to work, learn, and connect. Every donation, large or small, directly supports the individuals and families we serve in Southern Illinois.

The Team Behind Our Care

Our staff brings patience, compassion, and practical experience to every interaction. Together, we help individuals feel safe, supported, and seen.

I can’t put into words how appreciative I am to Five Star Industries, Inc. !

They go above and beyond taking Exceptional care of my Daughter. The level of care they provide for my daughter on a daily basis is such  blessing and comfort to know that all her needs are met with such love and care! 

My daughter’s home is always kept very clean and cozy, organized and safe. 

She loves going to the day program and all the planned activities and outings. 

They definitely deserve 5 Stars !! 

Thank You Five Star Industries!!!

A Grateful and Thankful Mom
