Developmental Disabilities Care

Providing in-home care for a developmentally disabled family member is a rewarding labor of love, but it can also impact the health and well-being of family caregivers. It can be stressful and tiring, and it’s easy to feel isolated. The good news is that family caregivers don’t have to navigate developmental disability care alone.

Professional developmental disabilities home care services bring skilled, trained, professional caregivers into the fold. Whether your family needs regular caregiving help or you’re looking for occasional respite care, our professional caregivers are here to help.

If this is your situation, you might consider our Active Care plan.

What Is Developmental Disabilities Care?

Developmental disabilities are a group of conditions that delay or limit a person's mental or physical development. These conditions can affect a person's cognitive and communication skills, social interactions, and self-care abilities. Some common developmental disabilities include autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and other intellectual disabilities.

 

Developmental Disabilities Resources

Our developmental disabilities home care services provide a wide range of supports to meet the individual needs of each client. These services may include:

  • Personal care assistance: We can help with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting, as well as mobility assistance.
  • Home management: Our caregivers can help with tasks such as laundry, housekeeping, meal preparation, and taking care of errands.
  • Transportation: We can provide transportation to appointments, therapy sessions, and social outings.
  • Companionship: Our caregivers provide companionship and social interaction to help reduce feelings of isolation that both children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities often struggle with.
  • Respite care: We can also provide temporary relief for family caregivers who need a break. Respite home care for intellectual disability caregivers is essential for providing rest to caregivers and ensuring they have time to meet their own physical and emotional needs.
