About Premier Support Services
Dedicated to improving the quality of life for elderly and disabled individuals in the DC metropolitan area.
Our Mission
At Premier Support Services, our mission is to provide compassionate, professional case management services that empower elderly individuals and persons with disabilities to live independently in their communities. We are committed to enhancing the quality of life for every person we serve through personalized care, expert advocacy, and unwavering dedication.
Founded by Barbara Awa, Premier Support Services was established with a deep commitment to serving the most vulnerable members of our community. Barbara recognized that navigating the complex healthcare system — especially the DC EPD Waiver program — could be overwhelming for families. She set out to create an organization that would not only simplify that process, but ensure every client receives the dignity, respect, and individualized attention they deserve.
Today, Premier Support Services continues to uphold that founding vision, providing expert case management that bridges the gap between individuals in need and the services that can transform their lives. We believe that with the right support, every person can thrive in the comfort of their own home and community.
