Attendant Care
This service is assistance with all routine activities of daily living, including maintaining a safe and sanitary home environment to maximize quality of life. This may also include general supervision depending on the members needs.
What it does:
Provides hands-on help with daily living and supervision.
How it benefits at-risk individuals:
- Ensures basic health and safety needs are met (bathing, eating, toileting, transfers)
- Reduces risk of neglect, injury, or medical complications
- Provides consistent supervision for individuals who may wander, fall, or engage in unsafe behaviors
- Helps stabilize situations where a caregiver is aging, ill, or overwhelmed
Why DDD leans on Attendant Care (ATC):
It’s often the first line of defense to keep someone safely at home instead of escalating to emergency placement.
