Housing for Persons with a Disability
Everyone deserves a place to live that they can physically access and navigate with ease. And yet, finding housing that meets the needs of individuals living with an impairment is a challenge for many people.
Coordinating Care for Adults with Disabilities
If you’re caring for an adult child or another loved one with a disability, no matter their age, you likely worry about them a lot. What will happen to them if something happens to you?
Employment With a Disability
Disabilities do not have to prevent you from working. They may, however, present opportunities to interact with your work environment in a different way. If you want to earn your own paycheck and participate in the workforce, there are laws, resources, and programs that may help make your goal a reality.
Housing Options for Adults with IDD
Home can mean different things to different people. Home can be in a variety of settings, such as an apartment where you live alone or a house you share with relatives or non-related roommates.
Personal Care
Let’s face it, no one wants helps with bathing or getting dressed. It’s not quite like that short scalp massage you receive from the hairdresser, but it may be a necessity if you have injured yourself, are weak from a recent surgery or illness, or have a disability.
Resources for Dementia, Including Alzheimer’s Disease
Getting a diagnosis of dementia can be a stressful life event, but understanding the diagnosis and available resources might help ease some of that stress.
Assistive Technology and Emergency Response
The unexpected can happen at any time. Life may be going along fine and the next thing you know, you’re in an ambulance being taken to the hospital because you’ve been told you just had a stroke.
Long-term Services & Supports Planning
It can be scary when you find yourself or a loved one struggling to manage daily life. When needs are increasing and you realize you need more help, it may be hard for you to picture what the next stage of life looks like for you or a loved one.
Home Modifications and Repair
A lot goes into selecting the right home—how close is it to good schools, parks, and shops, and does it have a backyard space for the dog?
Mind the Gap (Transportation Solutions)
Transportation can pose a variety of challenges if you have recently given up your driver’s license or moved to a new neighborhood. Where is the closest bus stop? How will I get there? Will someone be able to pick me up? Luckily, you live in a major metropolitan region with multiple transportation options available to you.
