Optimae assists individuals living in more than 50 Iowa counties with their mental health, visible and invisible disabilities, and other barriers. We empower our customers to reach their fullest potential by being at their side and on their side.

I’m proud to be on a team that I can always count on. (Sothavy, home care aide with Optimae for 5+ years)
