ADULT CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES

A growing number of us now shoulder the responsibility of caring for our mentally, physically, or developmentally disabled adult children. Unfortunately, as we age, our ability to directly care for our adult children is diminished. At TRIFECTA, we have a simple solution. Similar to our care for aging adults, our team of experienced care givers will put your mind at ease through their care. We implement a holistic approach that incorporates:
  • anticipating needs, tailored to the specific circumstances of your loved one
  • effective communication with family to help them connect with resources that will help them strive under the circumstances.
  • managing behaviors, and giving them a sense of purpose, and
  • maintaining and improving quality of life via activities that are based on your loved one's interests and those that will brighten their day. 

Here are the other specific services we offer to our clients:

  1. Companion services: Assist with recreational activities or just visiting. 
  2. Personal care services: Assist with bathing, grooming/dressing, going to the bathroom, eating, exercising and others. 
  3. Homemaker services: Assist with house chores, shopping or meal preparation.​ ​
