Community Living Waiver
Live-in Disability Solutions provides the following in-home services to intellectual disability individuals residing in the Allegheny, Washington, Westmoreland, Beaver, Butler, & Fayette Counties.
RESPITE CARE OUT-OF HOME
Out-of-Home Respite provides an opportunity for our clients to be outside the home. Families are free to enjoy time in their own home without the constraints of constant care, and they can devote more attention to siblings and other family members. Respite provides a temporary break between the family caregiver and the care recipient. To be most effective, you should consider respite services much earlier than you think you will need them. Respite services can be beneficial, meaningful, and enjoyable to both the caregiver and the care recipient. Sometimes, you may need respite in emergencies to deal with a personal health crisis, housing or job loss, or other immediate situations that might put the care recipient in harms way. Both emergency and planned respites are critical resources for caregivers who are caring for an individual with special needs.
