Intellectual disability, also known as mental retardation, is a term used when there are limits to a person's ability to learn at an expected level and function in daily life.

Our belief is that each individual, regardless of the severity of his or her disability, has the right to live and participate in the community.  Our programs focus on the strengths of each individual and then build on those strengths, interests and desires to improve the individual's independence and community integration.  We understand that individuals seldom have one presenting problem, but rather need supportive services aimed at addressing the multiple needs in their lives.

Our care givers may work with individuals who are intellectually disabled and they may assist in implementing a behavior plan, teaching self-care skills and may provide a range of other personal assistance services.

Our care givers provide light housekeeping and homemaking tasks such as laundry, change bed linens, shop for food, plan and prepare meals.  Aides also may help clients get out of bed, bathe, dress, and groom.  Some accompany clients to doctors' appointments or on other errands.
