💙 Did you know respite care can make a big difference for families and caregivers?

Respite care provides short-term support so primary caregivers can take a break, recharge, and take care of their own needs—while ensuring their loved one continues to receive quality care and support. It can happen in the home or community and may last from a few hours to several days depending on the need.

At Northwest ABA, we understand how important it is to support not just our clients—but their entire support system. Taking time to rest helps caregivers stay healthy, present, and ready to provide the best care possible.

Or have someone help you with activities while your main caregiver is away? Respite care is a great way for both you and your main caregiver to recharge. It’s a short-...

🏠💙 Did you know Washington has a program designed to help loved ones get home safely if they become lost?

The Take Me Home Program allows families to voluntarily register individuals who may have difficulty communicating or who are at risk of wandering — including people with autism, dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other cognitive differences.

Families can provide helpful information for first responders such as:
📸 A recent photo
📞 Emergency contacts
🧠 Communication needs
🎧 Sensory considerations or calming strategies
🩺 Medical or behavioral information

If a first responder encounters someone who is lost, they can quickly access this information and help reunite them with their family safely. 🚓

For many families, this step provides extra peace of mind and helps first responders better support the people they encounter.

If you have a loved one who may be at risk of wandering, consider reaching out to your local police department to learn more about registering for the Take Me Home Program. 💙
