About Essential Living Support
Richard’s Journey
Essential Living Support, LLC was founded by Richard Brown, MBA, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, with a mission to provide compassionate, person-centered care that promotes dignity, independence, and belonging. As a Veteran-owned organization, we proudly serve adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and disabled Veterans through our certified VA Medical Foster Home Program, the first of its kind in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Richard’s journey in the healthcare field began at the Corpus Christi State Supported Living Center in Texas, where he advanced from Direct Support Professional to Assistant Unit Director and Meal Time Manager. Through these roles, he developed a deep understanding of individualized care, behavioral support, and the importance of building meaningful relationships between caregivers and those they serve.
Our Vision
With more than a decade of experience and leadership in healthcare and community-based services, Richard founded Essential Living Support to create a home-like environment where every person, whether Veteran or civilian, can thrive physically, emotionally, and socially. His vision is built on the belief that quality care is not only about meeting daily needs but also about enriching lives through compassion, respect, and empowerment.

Whether we are assisting a Veteran who has served our nation or helping someone with an intellectual disability gain greater independence, our commitment remains the same: to provide a safe, supportive, and empowering home environment where every person is valued.
