Care for the Intellectually Disabled
​
Able Mind & Body Home Care provides a variety of community-based support and service options for persons with intellectual disabilities. Our Direct Support Professionals use a person-focused, outcomes-based approach to support each individual to live a meaningful, inclusive life of his/her choice.
​
Through the provision of our services, individuals learn, maintain, or improve skills through their participation in a variety of everyday-life activities. These activities are necessary for individuals to live in the community, to live more independently, or to be more productive and participatory in community life.
Homemaker and Chore Services

Homemaker Services must be provided by a qualified homemaker and may include cleaning, laundry, and other general household care.
