Rock House

What Rock House does

Rock House, formally "The Company of Rock House," is a private Texas-based for-profit residential care provider founded in October 1979 by Brad and Nancy Allen to serve individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. Headquartered in Stephenville, Texas, the organization operates eight service locations spanning North Central, West, Central, and Panhandle Texas (Stephenville, Cleburne, Eastland, Fort Worth, Georgetown, Lubbock, Midland, and Odessa), and owns and operates more than 20 certified Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities (ICF-IDD) homes. The organization employs more than 500 staff and serves more than 500 individuals across its programs.

Rock House delivers a comprehensive portfolio of state-contracted services including Residential ICF-IDD, Residential Home and Community-Based Services (HCS), In-Home Services, Foster Care, Day Habilitation, Recreation Services (including Special Olympics), and Supported Employment. Each ICF-IDD home is staffed with 24-hour supervision and coordinated by Qualified Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Professionals (QIDPs). The organization is certified and licensed by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS), contracts with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for HCS delivery, and is subject to annual state surveys for compliance.

The business model is substantially Medicaid-funded. ICF-IDD services are covered through SSI and Medicaid, HCS services require an MHMR/MRA-confirmed slot, and a smaller private-pay tier is available for qualifying individuals on a case-by-case fee basis. There is no proprietary technology platform underpinning service delivery; the digital footprint is limited to a Wix-hosted website, an Ascentis HR self-service portal, and standard social media channels. Go-to-market is referral-driven, relying on state agencies (MHMR/MRA), family inquiries via a toll-free admissions line, and facility tours for prospective residents. Doug Svien serves as Chief Executive Officer.
