Enhanced Family Care
Enhanced Family Care adopts a "shared life" approach to delivering quality care and support for individuals with disabilities. A vetted Home Care Provider welcomes the person needing support into their home, integrating them as an active member of their network of family, friends, and acquaintances. This approach effectively helps individuals with developmental disabilities learn life skills, build self-esteem, and lead more interdependent lives within their communities. We believe that inclusion and lasting relationships are essential for a fulfilling life.
Home Care Providers are actively involved in individual-centered conferences and team meetings, and they implement the objectives agreed upon by the support team for your loved one. Each Home Care Provider undergoes a thorough screening process, which includes interviews with the individual, their guardian, and the program manager. Selection is based on compatibility. All Home Care Providers receive comprehensive training and ongoing assistance from program staff and an Agency Nurse Trainer to ensure they meet the individual’s needs while adhering to all state and federal regulations.
