Caring Homes for the Developmentally Disabled.

Welcome to Family Living Center, Inc. Our Mission is to provide for and represent the interests of, developmentally disabled residents in Oakland County Michigan. We care for those who need full time home care, twenty four (24) hours a day, under the supervision and/or assistance of our qualified, trained support staff. We endeavor to prepare the individual for the least restrictive, most desired living situation to meet his/her independence and well-being needs with dignity and respect.

A note about our founder. Mabel Higgs has passed away. She died this past January 8th and was 97 years old. She had advised an old friend just in her last few days that she had changed her mind about her oft stated goal of living to be 100 years old. She had fallen back on November 7th and broken her left hip and left foot. She spent a couple weeks in a hospital and then the remainder of November, all of December and these early days of 2023 in a nearby senior care and rehab facility. Mabel Higgs was a fighter, a champion of the battles for civil and human rights and her passion, the care of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She was a graduate of Howard University, an award winning care giver and business woman. She traveled the world and loved a celebration. She is survived by her sons, their wives, her grandchildren and great grandchildren and hundreds of loving family members and friends from coast to coast.

Celebrating the Life of:

MABEL COREY HIGGS
