About

Advocacy Partners, LLC.

Advocacy Partners (AP) is a family owned, local agency that provides meaningful services for individuals on the Developmental Disability (DD) and Mi Via Waivers.

Advocacy Partners’ commitment and passion stems from the life Carol and Carlos have led and the services they sought for their daughter Daria. The Romeros saw a need in their community for person- centered individual services, and so in 2005, they founded Advocacy Partners.

AP offers caring and professional support for the people who provide direct residential, substitute/respite care and community supports for the individuals they serve.

Since the passing of Carlos Romero in 2008, his wife Carol partnered up with their daughters Victoria, Elena and Daria to continue Advocacy Partners. The family-oriented services Carol and Carlos established in their agency continue to grow and expand for both the providers and the individuals that they serve.

New kid on the block

My experience working with Advocacy Partners has been nothing short of wonderful and pleasant experiences. I have worked for many companies that claim to feel like a family, however, Advocacy Partners is probably the first company where I truly believe this statement to be true. Everyone is extremely friendly and always willing to help out in any and all ways they can. It is extremely easy to become staffed and work a schedule that perfectly fits your needs for daily life. Overall, I would highly recommend Advocacy Partners to anyone with drive and dedication towards helping others.
