Home based (Individual) Support for Adults 21+
The support they need, in the comfort of home
What is home-based support?
Along with making sure your loved one can interact with the world outside their door, we also make sure they’re able to live comfortably in their home with our home-based support program, also known as individual supports.
How this service works will depend on the needs of your loved one. Your Direct Support Person, or DSP, will work with you to implement a support plan that caters to your loved one’s needs and goals, which can include:
Food shopping
Dressing
Chores
Laundry
Social events
Nutrition
Cooking
Appointments
Medication
The gift of friendship
Beyond caring for your loved one’s needs, your DSP will also help cultivate a stronger sense of confidence, friendship, and independence.
Whether we match you with a DSP who is the best fit for your loved one, or you get a trusted family member or caregiver—or even yourself—approved as a DSP, we’re here to make the process as smooth as possible.
The choice is yours
We understand that the caregiver-client relationship is fundamentally rooted in deep trust. That’s why we give you the choice between two options when it comes to finding a Direct Support Professional for your loved one:
We find you a match
Get a fully trained and carefully vetted DSP that best fits your loved one’s needs. Tell us your needs, preferences and wishes, and we will find a DSP that will seamlessly fit into your loved one’s life.
You become or recruit a DSP
Choose yourself or another familiar face—such as a trusted friend or family member—as the DSP. We’ll provide training, get you/them approved and set up as a TeamCare employee.
“A great match for our son—he really gets him”
“The process was pretty easy. We feel lucky that we got a great match for our son, someone that definitely gets him. You can tell they screen their workers and really, really care.”
