Patrick Guerin III
President and CEO
Loveland CenterBIO
I have been a part of the I/DD community for 34 years, I often like to tell people that I have been part of the field of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities for my entire life. Every member of my immediate family has or is in some way working in the field of human services. I am also proud to say that I had 2 foster brothers, whom had developmental and intellectual disabilities; their lives had a substantial impact on shaping my perspective in how people with I/DD should be treated. Their perspective and mine is quite simple they wanted to be treated…no different than anyone else. I believe the people we support have dreams, wishes, and desires for their own life and I want to be here to help them achieve those dreams, wishes, and desires.
Prior to coming to Loveland I served in Senior Management roles at both Suburban Adult Services Inc. and Claddagh Commission Inc.; during that time, I focused on program development/expansion and gained an extensive knowledge of regulatory and corporate compliance. I started my professional career as a direct support staff member working in the day program for Aspire of WNY, then progressively moved to a number of professional roles including Service Coordination and management of residential services.
Working in this field has truly become my vocation I care about the people that I support and strive to advocate for both individuals and the staff members with whom I work. I try to understand the needs of the individuals, staff, and families and the balance needed to ensure the requirements of the agency are also being met.
There is a great team here at Loveland and I am excited to continue the work here as we move forward helping the people we support live their lives to the fullest.
Equality Through Opportunity means to me; that everyone has the opportunity to live their lives in the manner in which they desire. I am not in the position to place a limit on that person but to give them the opportunity to reach their own dreams.

Lora Carter
Area Director, North Port
Loveland CenterBIO
I have worked in the field of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities for 29 years. I started as a peer tutor during my senior year of high school working with individuals with Intellectual and physical disabilities. I then went on to work at a summer camp for children and adults ages 5 – 21 with a variety of disabilities. I knew then that I had the passion and desire to teach and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Moderate and Severe disabilities from Eastern Kentucky University in 2000. I moved to GA and taught Severe/ Profound and medically Fragile for 15 years before moving to Florida. I also coached several sports and ages for Special Olympics while in GA. I moved to FL in 2016 and was a substitute teacher for Sarasota County Schools before finding Loveland Center in 2018. I have had the opportunity to be a Supported Employment coach, a companion, a team lead, and a manager over the Adult Day Programs in our North Port and Port Charlotte locations. I am now excited to be taking on the role of Area Director of the North Port region. I look forward to making Loveland an integral part of the North Port community by providing the programs and services needed for our individuals with I/DD.
Equality Through Opportunity means to me that all individuals have the right to live their lives to the fullest and be provided access to the same opportunities as their peers. Every individual has the right to work, live independently, love, communicate, and be encouraged to fulfill their potential.
