How We Help IGHL Employees

Practical, one-on-one guidance focused on the 403(b) and 457(b) plans and benefits available to human services professionals at Independent Group Home Living.

1

Retirement Plan Review

Clarify your employer contribution, review investment options, and confirm you are capturing the value of IGHL’s retirement benefits.

2

Benefits Optimization

Learn how your retirement plan works alongside health coverage, disability income coverage, tuition assistance, and other IGHL perks for long-term security.

3

Atlas VirtualWealth Sessions

One-on-one planning meetings conducted virtually — useful for busy Direct Support Professionals, residential staff, and clinical team members.


Why This Matters for IGHL Professionals

IGHL team members provide lifetime support to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Long Island. That meaningful work can mean personal financial planning takes a back seat. IGHL offers retirement plans with an employer contribution plus a broader benefits package — but coordinating contributions, investments, and other savings can help strengthen long-term security.

We help you learn where your plans stand today and what simple steps can help — without pressure. We put our clients’ interests above our own.
