Services for Families, Children, Adults and Seniors
In-Home Family Support
The goal of in-home support is to provide staff assistance
to the family of an individual who has developmental disabilities.
This service is designed to provide staff assistance in
a family’s home setting while meeting the health, social and safety
needs of the individual. Allowing the family a respite (relief
and rest), reduces the stress experienced by families caring
for family members who have special needs. This service
may take place in or outside the home.
Another goal is to offer assistance to the family member
so the individual may remain in the family home and prevent a placement
that would be more restrictive.
Youth Mentor
Youth mentor services are provided to children with an
emotional disturbance to assist the family in keeping their
child at home. Young adults support youth and model appropriate
behaviors and activities. Services may be provided in a
variety of settings, as determined by the team.
