What Are Personal Supports Services?

At Bello Machre, we provide people with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to access their community and attend meaningful activities of their choosing in a one-on-one environment. Individuals can work on developing independent life skills, higher educational goals, or personal projects.

For Personal Supports, we pair your loved one with a one-on-one staff member to help them achieve their goals. Schedules are determined on a case-by-case basis.

Respite Care Program

Respite Care is an add-on service to Personal Supports that provides planned or emergency relief for primary caregivers. We can arrange for community-based or in-home care for an extended period of time, up to 21 days.

74,692 – The number of Personal Supports Services hours we provided last year.

3,137 – The number of Respite Care Services hours we provided last year.

Activities

Your loved one’s program director will work with the coordinator of community services (CCS) to find appropriate and right-fit day programs and activities.

Activities may include movie outings, museum visits, trips to bowling alleys, and more. Large group social activities are available with the supported person’s one-on-one staff member present.

Personal Supports Services FAQs

When your loved one joins their one-on-one staff member for a community-based activity, like going to the movies, visiting a museum, or going bowling, they pay admission fees for both themselves AND their staff member. They each cover additional purchases themselves.

If your loved one or a family member requests that Bello Machre provide medication during scheduled hours of service, it must be approved for nursing support services through Developmental Disability Administration (DDA). Bello Machre partners with Dimensional Healthcare Agency to provide delegated nursing services.

The Bello Machre one-on-one staff member provides transportation.
