What can we help you with?

 Personal supports services provide assistance and training to the recipient in activities of daily living, such as in the areas of eating, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and preparation of meals. When specified in the support plan, this service can also include housekeeping chores, such as bed making, dusting, and vacuuming, and assistance to do laundry, shopping, and cooking, which are incidental to the care furnished, or which are essential to the health and welfare of the recipient rather than the recipient’s family. 

 Companion services consist of non-medical care, supervision, and socialization activities provided to adults (recipients of age 21 and older). This service must be provided in direct relation to the achievement of the recipient’s goals per the recipient’s support plan. The service provides access to community-based activities that cannot be provided by natural or other unpaid supports, and should be defined as activities most likely to result in increased ability to access community resources without paid support. Companion services can be scheduled on a regular, long-term basis. 

 Respite care is a service that provides supportive care and supervision to recipients under the age of 21 when the primary caregiver is unable to perform the duties of a caregiver. This service is generally used due to a brief planned or emergency absence, or when the primary caregiver is available, but temporarily physically unable to care for or supervise the recipient for a brief period of time. Respite care is not intended to be used as after school care or supplement personal care assistance when daily limits for personal care assistance is exceeded. 

Supported living coaching services provide training and assistance, in a variety of activities, to recipients who live in their own homes or apartments. These services are provided by a qualified supported living coach to a recipient residing in a living setting meeting the requirements set forth in Rule 65G-5.004, F.A.C., and can include assistance with locating appropriate housing; the acquisition, retention, or improvement of skills related to activities of daily living, such as personal hygiene and grooming; household chores; meal preparation; shopping; personal finances; and the social and adaptive skills necessary to enable recipients to reside on their own.
