What Is Disability Management

Children and adults with physical disabilities or other challenges often need hands-on care around the clock. Issues such as developmental delays, cognitive disabilities, Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy and autism may inhibit one’s ability to perform daily tasks on their own. This is where disability management can help.

Disability Management Helps Look After Your Loved One While Allowing for a Sense of Independence

At ComForCare Home Care, our caregivers understand that your family or friend desires as much independence as possible, yet still needs some help. We can give them the one-on-one disability care and attention they deserve without the limitations an institution-style setting may impose.

The One-On-One Care Difference

When you choose ComForCare, your special person is assigned a personal caregiver or team of caregivers for whom the priority is your family member’s well-being. This is different from institutions, where a person would be one of many residents receiving disability management. This means you don’t need to worry about things like overcrowding or understaffing, as your loved one is always getting direct attention and care.

We offer a large number of home care services,
including but not limited to:

Light housekeeping
Help with hygiene needs
Toileting and bathing assistance
Incontinence care
Meal preparation according to physician recommendations
Transportation assistance

Disability Management and Medical Assistance

Many conditions come with complications that require frequent doctor’s visits, therapies, and medication management. This personalized care plan is created and overseen by a registered nurse or other health professional. We thoroughly equip our caregivers for specific disabilities, so they know what to expect, what to look for and how best to help. When needed, our caregivers know to seek medical assistance to make sure your family or friend is kept safe and comfortable.

Companionship

Living life with a disability can be lonely, and our caregivers make sure to take ample time to provide companionship. Companionship services are tailored to match your loved one’s abilities and interests while supporting their internal growth. Caregivers may play brain games, memory games, read stories or current events, listen to music or just sit and talk with clients. If clients are able and interested, caregivers may bring them to social functions or local events to enjoy the scenery and interaction.

Whether you need just a few hours a week or long-term assistance, we can provide the care services that meet your family’s unique needs.

A little respite care can go a long way toward helping you, and the person being cared for enjoy each other’s company more.
