Support for every stage of life in Gilbert
Needs look different at five, fifteen, and twenty-five. A young child may need help with morning routines while parents get siblings off to school. A teenager may be eager to handle more of their own day. A young adult may be thinking about where and how they want to live. DDD services can be shaped to each of these seasons.
We support families in Gilbert, including the Downtown Gilbert Heritage District, Agritopia, Morrison Ranch, Val Vista Lakes, and Power Ranch. Wherever your family is in the journey, call us and we will listen first.
Childhood: steady help and a breather for parents
For younger children, attendant care can help with bathing, dressing, meals, and daily routines, so mornings and evenings run more smoothly. Respite gives parents dependable time to rest, run errands, or focus on other children, with a staff member who knows your child's routine. Hours follow the authorized plan.
The teen years: building everyday skills
Adolescence is a natural time to work on independence, and habilitation is designed for it. Staff teach skills step by step and practice them in real settings. Common goals include:
- Brushing teeth, grooming, and choosing clothes
- Making a simple snack or helping cook a meal
- Shopping for groceries
- Getting comfortable in community places, such as a walk at the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch
Each goal is chosen with the teen and written into their plan. Learning happens at the person's own pace.
Adulthood: choices about home and daily life
For adults 18 and older, Adult Developmental Homes offer life in a licensed family home with 24-hour care and supervision, help building skills, and support for behavioral, emotional, and physical needs. If your family wants to explore this, we can explain the setting and coordinate with the member's Support Coordinator on placement.
Many adults continue to live with family, and attendant care and habilitation remain available through the plan. Relatives who provide much of the care may also qualify to be hired through our DDD family caregiver program, with our office guiding hiring, training, and paperwork.
A plan that changes as your loved one does
Each member's DDD Support Coordinator helps update the plan as needs change. We keep the coordinator informed about how services are going so the plan reflects your loved one today. Learn more about what a DDD Support Coordinator does.
Including your loved one in every decision
At any age, the person receiving support has preferences worth hearing. A child might have strong feelings about which activities come first. A teen may want a say in which skills to work on. An adult may want to choose how their days and evenings are spent. We invite your loved one into the conversation in whatever way works for them, through words, pictures, or a family member who knows them well, so support reflects who they are.
