Special Care Services

What Special Care Services does

Special Care Services is a family-owned and family-operated nonprofit organization founded in August 2016 by Debbi Davis, MSN, RN, PHN, headquartered in Suisun City, California. The organization delivers home and community-based services to individuals with developmental disabilities, autism, and complex medical needs across Solano County, with a stated philosophy of person-centered care delivered in clients' natural environments. Its service portfolio spans four core operational lines: Children's Services (infant development for ages 0-2 years 11 months and behavioral services for ages 3-17 using Applied Behavior Analysis methodology), Adult Services (Coordinated Family Support Services for adults aging out of children's services and Healthcare Training and Treatment Services delivered by licensed nurses), the Club Chaos inclusive summer day program, and a Training Center offering American Heart Association–accredited CPR/First Aid and healthcare training (medication management, G-tube care, diabetes management). Supporting these programs are the Special Care Angels 501c(3) public charity (EIN 88-2705383) for scholarships and family support, the annual Developmental Disability & Neurodiversity Conference (DDNC) offering CME/CEU credits, and the Shop the Spectrum branded merchandise storefront.

Revenue mechanics rest on three pillars: (1) Purchase of Service authorizations from North Bay Regional Center, which is the primary funding and referral partner for Napa, Solano, and Sonoma counties; (2) private-pay hourly billing at $75/hour for unlicensed-professional training and $120/hour for licensed-healthcare-professional services; and (3) modest merchandise sales ($30-$45 per item). Customer acquisition is driven by NBRC service-coordinator referrals and community-led outreach through events and a five-channel social media presence (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, Twitter/X). The organization operates with 51-100 employees across a headquarters in Suisun City and event/program locations in Fairfield and Vacaville, and is currently signaling openness to like-minded outside investors while remaining family-controlled.
