Founded in 2006, Neighborhood Pharmacy operates in several states and recently expanded into Texas, specializing in services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). With primary locations in San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas, the pharmacy serves communities statewide. Its team understands what IDD care teams need from a pharmacy partner, including genuine relationships with the people they support and their broader communities. Neighborhood Pharmacy offers 24/7 support and technology designed to improve patient outcomes.  Some of this technology includes multi-dose packaging and full-color photos of patients and medications to assist the individual and their service providers. Through these services, Neighborhood LTC Pharmacy aims to make medication administration clearer and more consistent.
Neighborhood LTC Pharmacy is committed to “empowering and uplifting the IDD community by supporting organizations that offer meaningful employment opportunities.” It advances this commitment by participating in local events, partnering with advocacy organizations, leading community education initiatives, and hosting appreciation events throughout the year to support and celebrate the people it serves and their circles of support.
