Established in 1972 by the Nashua Association for Retarded Citizens, The PLUS Company was incorporated as a non-profit entity in 1978. In 1980, a State of New Hampshire court order mandated that residents of Laconia State School return to live in their communities. This increased the need for community-based services for people with developmental disabilities and resulted in the rapid growth of The PLUS Company. Several group homes were established in the Greater Nashua area, and an emphasis was placed on vocational training.

This is a field of nursing that is expected to grow dramatically over the next several years bringing many career opportunities. While experience in this field is preferred we are willing to train the right person in expanding their skills and knowledge in the area of developmental disabilities.
