What is Attendant Care?
There are two variations of this service:
“Attendant Care” and “Attendant Care Supervision.”
Attendant Care provides assistance to the client with personal care tasks that he/she cannot do independently, such us feeding, toileting, bathing, grooming, meal preparation, etc.
Attendant Care Supervision provides constant supervision for individuals that cannot safely be left alone. This variation of the service does not involve doing any personal care tasks.
Unlike Respite services, Attendant Care Supervision can be used while parents are at work.
Who Receives Attendant Care?
Attendant Care services can be approved for individuals of various ages, and disabilities, that meet DDD’s qualifying criteria.
This is done after the support coordinator at DDD completes a needs assessment.
