Home Care for Individuals with Disabilities

Disability Home Care Services

Whether your family member is a young adult with an intellectual or developmental disability, a child with complex care needs, or an adult managing a physical disability or chronic condition, our caregivers are trained to provide thoughtful, consistent support. We believe that home is not just a place — it is where people thrive. Our job is to make sure it stays that way.

If you are exploring in-home disability care for the first time, this page will walk you through what to expect, how our services work, and how to take that first step toward getting your loved one the support they deserve. We offer a no-cost assessment at no obligation — simply a conversation to understand your family’s needs and determine how we can help.

Who We Serve

Family Resource Home Care supports individuals across a wide range of disabilities and diagnoses. Our caregivers are experienced in working with people whose needs vary significantly — from those who need a few hours of companionship and assistance each week to individuals who require around-the-clock support.

We provide in-home care for individuals living with:

• Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). Including Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, and related conditions. Our caregivers approach IDD care with patience, consistency, and a deep respect for each person’s individual communication style and daily routine.
• Physical Disabilities. Mobility limitations, spinal cord injuries, limb differences, and conditions affecting movement or coordination. We provide hands-on assistance that reduces risk and supports greater independence.
• Acquired Brain Injuries (ABI). Individuals recovering from or living long-term with a traumatic brain injury or stroke benefit from caregivers trained in cognitive support and adaptive daily routines.
• Chronic Conditions and Complex Medical Needs. Many individuals with disabilities manage ongoing health conditions that require consistent daily support. Our caregivers are trained to assist while working in close coordination with the client’s healthcare team.
• Mental Health Disabilities. For individuals whose disability includes significant mental health components, we match caregivers with the right experience and interpersonal skills to provide stable, compassionate daily support.

If you are unsure whether home care is the right fit for your family member’s specific diagnosis or situation, reach out to us. Our care coordinators are happy to talk through your options with no pressure and no obligation.

In-Home Disability Care Services

Home care for individuals with disabilities is not a single service — it is a customized combination of support that reflects what each person actually needs to live well. At Family Resource Home Care, care plans are built around the individual, not around a preset menu. Here is a look at the types of support our caregivers provide:

• Personal Care. Assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, oral hygiene, and toileting — all provided with care and respect for the individual’s privacy and dignity. We take the time to understand preferences and routines so that personal care feels comfortable, not clinical.
• Medication Support. Gentle reminders and assistance to help individuals stay on schedule with their medications, reducing the risk of missed doses and supporting better health outcomes.
• Meal Preparation. Planning and preparing nutritious meals that account for dietary needs, preferences, and any swallowing or feeding considerations. Mealtimes are made to feel relaxed and enjoyable.
• Companionship and Social Engagement. Isolation is a real concern for individuals with disabilities. Our caregivers are genuine companions — spending time in meaningful conversation, shared activities, games, walks, and outings that keep life rich and connected.
• Transportation Assistance. Safe rides to medical appointments, therapy sessions, community programs, day services, or simply getting out of the house. We make sure transportation barriers do not keep individuals from participating in their community.
• Mobility and Transfer Support. Assistance with safe repositioning, transferring, and movement within the home for individuals who need physical support to get around safely.
• Light Housekeeping. A clean, organized home environment matters for both safety and well-being. Caregivers assist with laundry, tidying, dishes, and maintaining the spaces where daily life happens.
• Exercise and Physical Activity Support. Encouraging and safely assisting with stretching, walking, or prescribed exercise routines — helping individuals stay as physically active as their abilities and care plan allow.
• Respite Care. Family members who serve as primary caregivers need time to rest, recharge, and tend to their own lives. Our respite care gives families the reliable break they need, knowing their loved one is in safe, experienced hands.
• 24-Hour and Live-In Care. For individuals who need consistent supervision and support around the clock, we provide continuous care that keeps them safe and supported at all hours.

A Person-Centered Approach to Disability Care

Many families who contact us have spent years navigating systems that treated their loved one as a diagnosis rather than a person. That is not how we work.

Before a caregiver ever walks through the door, a Family Resource care coordinator sits down with the individual and their family for a no-cost assessment. This is not a form to be filled out. It is a real conversation — about what matters to your family member, how they communicate, what a good day looks like for them, what frustrates them, and what kind of caregiver will genuinely be a good fit. We learn about their interests, their schedule, their sensitivities, and their goals.

Then we match. Carefully. We do not simply assign the nearest available caregiver. We look for someone whose experience, temperament, and personality align with the individual they will be supporting. In our experience, the right match makes everything work better — for the client, for the caregiver, and for the family.

Care plans are reviewed and updated regularly as needs change, because the right support at one stage of life may look different at another. Our clinically trained staff provide ongoing supervision and assessment, and a care supervisor is available on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a year. Learn more about our care team and our approach.
