In-Home Care for Developmental Disabilities

Providing Compassionate Assistance for Special Needs Adults

Seniors are not the only ones who may need assistance with the tasks of daily living. Individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities often require the services of a dedicated in-home caregiver, who can assist them with a wide range of tasks, from learning how to successfully navigate social situations to completing day-to-day routines.

If you’re currently supporting a person with intellectual or developmental disabilities, or if you live on your own as a developmentally disabled adult, finding the right caregiver can make all the difference. At Homewatch CareGivers of Beachwood, our team of Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) can offer a powerful combination of extensive experience and compassionate care. Each of our DSPs must commit to a thorough background check, drug test, and training program upon hire, with rigorous training and ongoing education requirements to complete each year.

• Cerebral Palsy
