Position: Group Home Manager
Year Started: 2025

Randy Rowe

Role Description

As a Residential Group Home Manager, I oversee the daily operations of a group home that supports individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I lead and supervise a team of staff, coordinate services, and manage scheduling to ensure consistent, high-quality care. My role focuses on creating a safe, supportive environment where each individual is empowered to build independence, develop life skills, and thrive.

What is something that people with disabilities have to deal with that you want to fix?

One of the biggest challenges I see is that individuals with disabilities are often not fully heard or included. Their voices can be overlooked, and in public settings they are not always treated equally. There are also many assumptions made about their abilities, which can limit opportunities for independence and growth.
I am passionate about changing that by advocating for the individuals I support, encouraging independence, and helping others recognize their strengths and capabilities. Everyone deserves to be heard, valued, and given the opportunity to live as independently as possible.

What’s your past experience?

I have 15 years of experience in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities as a Residential Group Home Manager. My work has centered on supporting individuals in residential settings while leading teams to provide consistent, high-quality care. Throughout my career, I have been committed to promoting dignity, independence, and a meaningful quality of life for those I support.
I recently joined IN-Pact, where I continue my commitment to individualized support and helping individuals live with dignity, independence, and opportunity. I hold a degree in Business and Accounting and am currently returning to school to pursue a degree in Psychology to further expand my understanding of human behavior and support services.

What do you like about working at In-Pact?

What I value most about IN-Pact is its smaller organizational structure, which allows leadership to remain closely connected to the individuals we serve. This helps ensure a strong focus on quality care and responsiveness, while also fostering clear communication and teamwork among staff. Overall, it creates a more hands-on and mission-driven approach to supporting individuals and meeting their needs.

Tell us something about yourself.

I was born in Plymouth, Indiana but spent most of my childhood living in Manhattan, New York before returning to Plymouth during my teenage years. During the summer, I volunteer as a golf coach with the Special Olympics, which is something I truly value and enjoy.

What are the values that drive you?

My work is guided by advocacy, accountability, and integrity. I believe every individual deserves compassionate and understanding support, regardless of behaviors or challenges they may face. I strive to lead with integrity by making thoughtful decisions and providing consistent, reliable support focused on what is best for the individuals I serve. My commitment is to ensure they receive high-quality care and meaningful opportunities to live full, independent, and fulfilling lives.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?

In my free time, I enjoy an active lifestyle, including golfing, traveling, and hiking, as well as spending time in social settings where I can relax and connect with others.
