October 24, 2023 // Franchising.com // Tempe, Ariz. - SYNERGY HomeCare has launched its newest initiative – an all-encompassing disability care program in conjunction with October being National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
SYNERGY HomeCare’s long-standing commitment to “care for all” is reflected throughout the company’s unique programs and services. These include Veterans home care services, which are often covered through VA benefits, a state-of-the-art memory care program for those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, a hospital-to-home transitional care offering for individuals recovering from surgery or illness, and now, disability care.
The cornerstone of the disability care program is SYNERGY HomeCare’s newest resource for family caregivers: A Family Guide to Understanding & Supporting Adults with Disabilities, which serves to enhance the quality of life for individuals living with disabilities. The guide offers in-depth guidance on how best to support people living with physical, developmental, intellectual, or sensory disabilities.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), roughly 61 million Americans, or about one- in-four, are currently living with a disability. Although these conditions are common, it is still often difficult to know how to provide care for or engage with this population. For that reason, the SYNERGY HomeCare Family Guide includes key information that can help a loved one or caregiver with valuable information and insight.
Below are some tips that can be found within the guide:
SYNERGY Home Care’s adult disability care program is designed to help propel people living with a physical, intellectual, and/or developmental disability toward a happier, healthier, and safer quality of life at home. For those living with disabilities, staying active and engaged can be the key to living well. The program is built with multiple layers of support that incorporate an evidence-based approach focused on person-centered care.
“Nearly a quarter of Americans live with a disability that impacts their everyday activities, and unfortunately, many of us still don’t know how to support those individuals,” said Rich Paul, Chief Partnership Officer of SYNERGY HomeCare. “Despite our desire to provide that support, people living with disabilities are marginalized by our lack of knowledge on how to actually provide that help. This October, we aim to take the first steps towards changing that. We aim to be one of the guiding resources on disability care education, as well as to be a primary in-home care provider for all types of people living with a disability.”
