Because of the delicate nature of those living with special needs, trained caregivers are matched to clients to provide the best care based on individual situations. At A-1 Home Care Agency, our caregivers know what it takes to provide compassionate care to those in need.

Regional Centers:

We are an approved Vendor by the Department of Social Services(DSS) as a Respite Care provider for the Regional Center of Orange County, Frank D. Lanterman Regional Center in Pasadena and the North Los Angeles Regional Center. Our Caregivers, Home Health Aides, Home Makers and Personal Care Assistants are trained and experienced with helping families with caring for someone with Special Needs.

Special Needs Respite Care:

A-1 Home Care Agency provides Respite Care for family caregivers, giving you time off to rest. Family caregivers are under constant stress and having some time to yourself will help keep you in good health. Knowing your loved one, adult or child, is in professional and caring hands means you can recharge without worry.

Independent Living with Special Needs:

There are plenty of special needs adults that reside in homes. Even though they can essentially live independently, they could enjoy a higher quality of life having a professional caregiver by their side assisting with their needs and providing companionship. This extra care also provides peace of mind to their loving family who may have to work or tend to other responsibilities.

Special Needs Trust:

Having a child with special needs means you must plan for their ongoing personal care and financial needs before your health fails and you’re no longer able to care for your adult child yourself.

Arranging a Special Needs Trust, using an attorney who’s knowledgeable about creating a customized Special Needs Trust, will provide the best protection for your child.

Be sure to use a law firm that is capable of utilizing the resources you’ve arranged without making your child ineligible for government benefits.

Unfortunately, public benefits programs, such as Medicaid, will not pay for necessary or desirable medical equipment to improve mobility and safety.

A Special Needs Trust that is customized to fit your child’s exact medical, social and financial situation will provide the best care when you’re incapacitated.

Our Professional Home Care:

Our affordable and professional caregivers ensure individuals with Special Needs have the opportunity to receive quality at-home care, without the overwhelming financial obligation. The quality of one-on-one personal care provided by our experienced caregiver is greater than that received at a facility since it is based on the specific needs and preferred schedule of the family.
