Loving Care & Support for Individuals with Epilepsy in Maryland
Supporting Individuals with Epilepsy of All Ages
Bello Machre provides comprehensive support to individuals with Epilepsy at every stage of life.
From children & teens to adults and seniors, Bello Machre connects individuals with epilepsy 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 epilepsy affects people differently—whether they are living alone with epilepsy or exploring group home options—and we embrace an innovative and flexible approach to care.
We tailor our services to include specialized resources, support for families, and personalized accommodations to meet the needs of individuals living with epilepsy and other seizure disorders. Within our group homes and residential care settings, we ensure that safety, comfort, and dignity are always prioritized.
From employment opportunities and meaningful careers to stable housing and daily support from dedicated staff members, Bello Machre empowers individuals and families with the tools they need to thrive.
Group Homes for People with Epilepsy
Bello Machre’s Residential Services create safe, welcoming group homes for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, ages 21 and older. Residents live in small households of three to four people, enjoying a sense of community while receiving live-in caregiver support. Our internal Nursing Department provides added support to ensure consistent, person-centered care.
Every home emphasizes independence, fun, and meaningful engagement. Residents share meals, pursue hobbies, and participate in community activities, while caregivers provide guidance and encouragement. Families can trust that their loved ones are thriving in a home built on community, connection, and personal growth.
Community Development Services
Our community-based day programs offer adults with epilepsy and other disabilities the opportunity to grow, socialize, and explore the community in safe, structured group activities. Each day includes recreational, educational, and social activities tailored to participants’ strengths and interests.
With a 1:4 staff-to-individual ratio and transportation provided, CDS fosters independence while building confidence, friendships, and life skills. More than just a day program, CDS helps participants connect with their community and take meaningful steps toward greater autonomy.
Employment Services
Our Employment Services guide adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in finding fulfilling jobs that match their interests. Through personalized coaching, hands-on training, and ongoing support, participants develop skills and confidence to succeed in the workforce.
Transportation support is provided through local transit options, and staff teaches strategies for independent travel. From first interviews to long-term careers, our team supports every step of the journey, helping individuals build pride, purpose, and independence.
“Bello Machre had helped Zach even before he was officially in the program, so I wanted to continue with them. It felt like a caring, loving organization that really supports individuals. Now, with their help, Zach’s able to be out in the community and doing what he loves most—being social.”
–Angie, mother of a Community Services recipient with epilepsy
Bello Machre’s Dedication to Personalized Support and Care for Individuals with Epilepsy
Bello Machre believes all people deserve the services and support to enjoy a full, independent, and enriched life. Through programs like Ray of Hope, Bello Machre helps individuals with epilepsy and other developmental and intellectual disabilities bridge gaps in their care plan funding, including resources for therapies, medications, adaptive equipment, and other essential services.
In addition, our newly established Nursing Department strengthens our commitment by providing on-site clinical expertise and personalized health monitoring, ensuring individuals receive comprehensive, coordinated care every step of the way.
Our team also offers resources and support to guide families in caring for individuals with epilepsy, promoting their health and overall well-being.
