Autism & Special Needs

Quality Home Care

Care Connections professionals are trained to help those with disabilities and special needs such as Spina Bifida, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Cerebral Palsy, and spinal cord injuries, giving them the support, they need to live as independently as possible. From disability aids and accessible transportation to personal care, our advanced and specialized ability in this area ensures our client's safety and empowers you and your family to get the most out of life.

Our disability care services include:

Pressure Relief

Mobility issues can lead to pressure sores and, in severe cases, the need for wound care. Care Connections caregivers are trained to supply pressure relief every 15 minutes for wheelchair-bound patients, and to turn bed-bound patients every two hours to prevent complications caused by prolonged immobility. Our CNAs are also trained in the transfer of patients using Hoyer lifts and slide boards and use the proper techniques to help patients avoid injuries and falls during transport.

Special Event and Respite Care

Whether you need aid caring for your loved one during a wedding or holiday celebration, our care professionals can supply help on a short-term basis so you and your family can make time for a vacation or receive additional support during a special event.

Travel Companionship

Travel and transportation can be challenging for individuals with disabilities and special needs. Care Connections provides travel companion care to help make travel accessible for people with special needs, enabling them to experience more in life.

Medical Procedure Transportation

Care Connections care professionals are available to help those who need aid with a scheduled medical procedure or doctor’s appointment. Your compassionate care professional will:

  • Pick you up at home and take you to the hospital or doctor’s office.

  • Wait until the procedure is completed and sign you out.

  • Safely transport you home.

  • If needed, stop at a pharmacy, grocery store, or restaurant if you need prescriptions, medical supplies, groceries, or food.

  • Make sure you are safely settled in your home after your procedure.

We can stay with you in your home after the procedure and aid with meal preparation, bathing, toileting, laundry, light cleaning, and medication reminders.
