What Does a Bello Machre Direct Support Professional Do?

Bello Machre DSPs help with household chores, meal preparation, personal hygiene, and medical oversight. You’ll also offer emotional support and companionship, transporting people to appointments, running errands, participating in recreational and social activities, and helping with job-related coaching and support.

As a DSP, you might work in one of our Bello Machre-owned residential homes, at an individual’s home, or out in the community helping people with disabilities participate as fully as possible in all facets of life. This includes employment-related supports.

“Our employees are set up for success, and you can see it in every home we support.”

– Yolanda Parker, Direct Support Professional
