DOVER, New Hampshire, February 1, 2021 –Living Innovations, a mission and values driven organization focused on supporting people of all ages and abilities to have a good life at home and in the community, announced today that the company has become a service of Omaha, NE-based Mosaic.  Headquartered in Dover, NH with 18 offices throughout New England the company will now join forces with Mosaic to strengthen their collective service offerings and coverage.

“This is the right move at the right time,” Ouellett said. Ouellett founded Living Innovations in 1996. The organization has grown to serve nearly 1,300 people in New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island and Connecticut – the latter where Mosaic exists as well.

All services currently provided by Living Innovations will continue with no changes as a result of the move to Mosaic, Timmons said. She added that all employees and contracted home providers can continue in the roles they have, and there are no job losses or eliminations with the change to Mosaic. The Living Innovations name will remain, with the addition of the tagline, “a service of Mosaic.”

Ouellett said the decision to join a larger organization came from his desire to ensure Living Innovations services continue to be strong and continue to grow after he retires.

“Mosaic shares our vision of personalized services that put people at the center of all we do,” Ouellett said. “They also bring resources that will help strengthen Living Innovations, such as expertise in autism and behavioral support.”

Mosaic benefits as well, said Timmons. “We have made the strategic choice to align with quality, like-minded organizations and know the Living Innovations models of service for people will enhance what we do across our network. This is a great partnership.”

With the addition of Living Innovations, Mosaic becomes a 13-state network serving more than 5,600 people with diverse needs.

See what New Hampshire State Director Michelle Donovan had to say in the blog post Disability Issues on the Campaign Trail in New Hampshire at Medium.com

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of spending a few days in New Hampshire. The Granite State, though small, packs a powerful punch when it comes to its influence on modern presidential elections, as its first-in-the-nation primaries make it a popular spot for candidates to take to the stump.
