We are passionate about coordinating services and supporting individuals with developmental disabilities of any age.
Developmental disabilities include autism, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and intellectual cognitive disabilities.
While are many of our caregivers already have the experience working with developmentally disabled individuals.
Our agency provides ongoing training to strengthen skills to ensure our clients get the best in-home care.
Families can receive respite care as our caregivers attend to the individual needs of their loved ones’ special activities of daily living (ADLs) needs.
This can be companionship, dressing , incontinence care and eating assistance. As well as, cleaning up after themselves, personal hygiene care, and more.
Depending on individual client needs, anticipated consumer outcomes from participation in our care services can generally lead to 80-90% satisfaction with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
Upon remaining in their chosen environment – their home – individuals and family members can receive respite care and experience peace of mind in their own homes while remaining safe.
Care notes will be documented to track progress of client outcomes and goals achieved.
Each client has an individualized Care Plan which is developed during the initial assessment with the family.
It is executed by the caregiver to reach the goals outlined on the Care Plan.
