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.
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 for both children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
- 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.
