Community Base Services

Individuals with an intellectual and/or developmental disability participating in our community base program receive one on one assistance from our experienced Direct Support Professional (DSP).

 

Our DSPs work with an individual both in their home and out in the community to achieve or maintain the goals and objectives that have been identified within their Service Plan. Participation in community-based individual supports provides the opportunity for increased independence and personal growth.

Lending Hands of Hope, makes it a priority to match DSP's that meet the expectations of the client and their families. We ensure high quality service by hiring flexible staff and training them to employ a wide range of essential skills. In addition, our DSPs are required to attend training in CPR, first-aid, crisis management and more. This training ensures that the individual being served will be safe and their privacy respected.
