Privately Paid Services

These services are designed to eliminate the need for unnecessary institutionalization by creating a safe living environment, fostering independence and facilitating rehabilitation. Services are available to youth and adults who make arrangements for individualized care and private payment for services. These services do not require a doctor's order; however, clients in a hospital or skilled nursing facility can request direct private care on their own to avoid being discharged to another care provider. Privately Paid Services are available for 8, 12 or 24-hour shifts. Hourly services are also available for those needing less than an 8-hour shift. Just a few examples within this service offering:

• Nursing Services
• Care that never sleeps
• Respite Care (to give relief to the regular family caregiver)
• Basic housekeeping
• Provide one-on-one care in a hospital or nursing home situation
• Social outings
