This service is for those clients under the age of 18 years who are not able to attend a mainstream daycare program due to significant behavioral challenges. In-Home Daycare may also be purchased for adults who live at home if the parents work. In-Home Daycare provides client care and supervision, in conjunction with behavior management support, so that a parent or caretaker can go to work or attend to other professional obligations.

This service support is designed for a client of any age, for a parent or caretaker who needs assistance in meeting the client’s care and supervision needs. This includes 1:1 support within a residential facility or program. When this service is purchased for clients under the age of 18 who live at home, it is a requirement of the service that the family member remains at home and continues to assume the role of primary caretaker of the client. This service does not include watching the client while the parent or caretaker runs errands or otherwise leaves the home. Attendant Care staff do not administer medication, perform medical services, or assume direct care taking needs (i.e., bathing, hygiene), as such activities remain the primary responsibility of the family member or facility staff who remain as primary caretaker. When Attendant Care is purchased for adult clients, this may be due to clients who require a specialized level of support in order to attend a specific program or activity, essentially acting as a one-to-one aide.
