Our services
Each service has its own purpose in Missouri’s DD waivers. Together they cover daily living, new skills, friendships and belonging, and a break for family caregivers.
Daily living
Help with everyday tasks a person can’t fully do on their own, like bathing, dressing, meals, housekeeping, and errands. Support can be hands-on, cueing, or doing the task, with teaching built in along the way.
New skills
Focused teaching on a clear skill the person wants to learn or keep, like cooking, budgeting and money management, home upkeep, or riding public transportation.
Belonging
Support to join activities the person chooses and build real friendships and community membership, like clubs, classes, volunteering, faith communities, and local events.
A break for caregivers
Short-term care in the individual’s home so the family members who usually provide care can rest, run errands, or take care of themselves.
How it works
We start with what matters to the person, then build a schedule and a support team around it.
1
Your support coordinator sends a referral, or you call us and we’ll connect with your coordinator.
2
We meet with you and your family to learn your routines, interests, and the PCSP outcomes you’re working toward.
3
Once services are authorized, we match you with a trained Direct Support Professional and set a schedule that works for you.
4
Every visit is documented against your goals. We share progress with your planning team and adjust as your needs change.
