Home Based Waiver Services and Person/Family Directed Support

including Overnight Respite Care, Temporary Respite Care and Temporary Facility Based Respite Care.

What We Believe About Home Based Living Services

In-home assistance for the family unit increases the likelihood that the Individual will remain an active, participating member of his/her community.
These active services need to be Individual and family driven and administered in a flexible manner to meet the exact needs of both the Individual and family.
Home-based waiver services should support the emotional needs of caregivers as well as provide rehabilitation services to Individuals.
The services allow the families to use the support necessary to keep the family unit intact.

As with all of the Supportive Concepts for Families, Inc. services, all components of waiver services can be individually tailored for one hour per day to twenty-four hours per day, depending upon the individual’s and family’s needs.

What We Believe About Respite Services

Respite Services are short term direct services that are provided to supervise and support individuals living in private homes due to the absence or need for relief of those persons normally providing care.
It is important for family members and other caregivers to relieve the stress they may experience and have the opportunity to follow through with appointments and social activities.

Types of Respite Services We Provide

Overnight Respite – Periods of twenty-four (24) hour care in one of our Department of Human Services licensed community homes or life sharing homes or within the individual’s home environment, determined by the individual and his/her family. The Provider is responsible for all of the individual’s daily living needs during the stay. The environment provides therapeutic activities facilitated by trained staff members in a safe and comfortable living arrangement.

Temporary Respite – Care provided in one of our Department of Human Services licensed community homes or life sharing homes or within the individual’s home environment. The individual and family are able to use hours instead of entire days if the respite service does not exceed 16 hours per day. Trained staff attend to the basic needs of the individual such as meal preparation, medication administration, bathing, and other daily living activities.
