At People’s Care, we provide one-on-one Personal Assistance Services that can assist in reducing, or even eliminating, the need to place an individual in restricted living environments such as a Community Care Facility or State Developmental Center. Services are provided both in the home and in the community, and focus on optimizing the person’s independence and/or diminishing challenging behaviors.

 

We provide these programs for children (ages 5-7 years) and adults (ages 18 to 70 years) with developmental disabilities.

 

People’s Care 1:1 Personal Assistance Services include:

 

• Conducting an initial evaluation to determine the best approach and most appropriate goals for the individual

• Implementing behavior intervention techniques to help the individual reduce challenging behaviors and increase socially significant behaviors

• Helping the individual overcome barriers both at home and within the community

• Supporting the individual in everyday living situations and keeping him or her focused on positive life experiences

• Helping to find appropriate community activities, after-school or summer programs, adult school or learning centers for the individual to acquire new skills

• Assisting the individual as needed to help him or her fully participate in community activities, after-school or summer programs, adult school or learning centers

• Helping the individual develop his or her own self-management skills to thrive both at home and in the community

 

At People’s Care, we know that selecting the most suitable support staff to address an individual’s specific needs leads to the most effective results. We also know that matching the caregiver’s cultural background to that of the individual will help him or her feel most comfortable. In the end, People’s Care can provide the peace of mind that comes from seeing a loved one gaining the skills he or she needs for a happier, more productive life.
