Service Details
Description:

Clients who receive attendant services have health challenges that result from a permanent injury (such as stroke or spinal cord injury), a chronic condition (such as cerebral palsy) or a progressive illness (such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), or other). But that doesn’t stop them! They live independently in the community with the support of their family and attendant services. Our goal is to assist you to live an active life.
