Personal Assistance/Care

Personal assistance services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) provide personalized, compassionate support tailored to each person’s unique needs. These services go beyond basic caregiving, focusing on independence, community inclusion, and personal growth. Personal assistants support daily living tasks, healthcare coordination, emotional well-being, and the development of independent living skills. They also assist with transportation, social participation, employment support, and use of assistive technology. Trained in person-centered care, communication, and behavioral strategies, personal assistants empower individuals to make choices and advocate for themselves. Their work is grounded in respect, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to enhancing quality of life. Ultimately, personal assistants are dedicated partners in helping individuals with IDD lead fulfilling, self-directed lives.
