Loving Care & Support for Individuals with Cerebral Palsy in Maryland
Supporting Individuals with Cerebral Palsy of All Ages
Bello Machre provides comprehensive support to individuals with Cerebral Palsy at every stage of life.
From children & teens to adults and seniors, Bello Machre connects individuals with Cerebral Palsy to the people, programs, and services that ensure a lifetime of care and support. Our person-centered approach prioritizes the aspirations of each individual at every stage of life, rather than focusing solely on the diagnosis. We recognize that Cerebral Palsy affects people differently, whether in childhood or later in life, and we embrace an innovative and flexible approach to care. We tailor our services to meet the distinct needs and wishes of every individual we serve.
Comprehensive Services for Individuals with Cerebral Palsy
Personal Supports
Personal Supports provide one-on-one assistance to individuals with Cerebral Palsy, helping them develop important independent living skills while staying actively engaged in their communities. These support services may include tasks such as cooking, managing personal hygiene, and organizing daily routines, as well as participating in community-based activities like gardening, visiting a local library, or attending local events—all while enhancing social skills and fostering independence. Through our support services, we ensure that individuals receive the personalized assistance they need to thrive both at home and in the community.
Respite Care is an additional service within our Personal Supports, offering family support so that loved ones can access a much-needed short-term break while ensuring continuity of care.
Meaningful Day
Meaningful Day Services offers community-based day programs that help individuals with Cerebral Palsy, age 21 and older, achieve their personal and professional goals. Through a variety of community services and activities, we provide opportunities for individuals to build skills, foster independence, and engage in meaningful experiences. Our DSP team works closely with each person to select social, recreational, educational, volunteer, and employment opportunities that align with their interests and aspirations. With a strong emphasis on community support, we empower individuals to connect, grow, and thrive in inclusive environments.
Group Homes for People with Cerebral Palsy
Residential Group Homes provide adults with Cerebral Palsy and other developmental disabilities a safe, nurturing environment where they can feel secure and loved. Our residential group homes for adults with Cerebral Palsy offer personalized support in small community settings, typically housing three to four individuals per home. These accommodations are designed to foster independence while ensuring comfort and accessibility, including the use of adaptive equipment to meet each person’s unique needs. At our homes, dedicated staff provide compassionate assistance, empowering individuals to grow, thrive, and live life to their fullest potential.
Building Independence, Career Opportunities, and Lifelong Learning for Individuals with Cerebral Palsy
Through Personal Support Services, Bello Machre helps individuals with Cerebral Palsy develop independent living skills such as meal preparation, cooking, doing laundry, using mobility aids, navigating public transportation, and managing finances. Our Meaningful Day Services offer engaging programs that enrich lives through activities promoting personal and professional growth. Small groups of two to three individuals with shared interests and abilities determine how they’ll spend their days. Physical exercise options like fitness and yoga, creative outlets such as arts and crafts, and skill-building opportunities like volunteer work are all available. Our services promote the transportation and access of occupational therapy to enhance daily living skills and workplace readiness. Bello Machre also supports individuals in securing employment and building careers through job coaching, job development, and on-site training.
“Thanks to Bello Machre, our son, Tyler, is provided with a wonderfully trained and caring staff person who takes him out on a weekend afternoon to do things that Tyler enjoys doing! Tyler’s weekend has intentional variety and we, the parents, have some respite time.”
–Lauren, mother of a Personal Support services recipient with cerebral palsy
