You don't have to care for your developmentally or intellectually disabled family member alone. Find the help and advice you need from our team of caring professionals.
It is our mission at Every Moment Matters Agency to give all individuals equal opportunity to fulfill their fullest potentials. Despite disability or functional limitations, they can be capable of community integration and becoming a contributing member of their families and their neighborhoods.
Our programs and services are geared towards helping these individuals achieve their goals. With personalized care, social services and community service coordination, they can avoid institutional care – instead, they can continue living with their families at home.
As much as possible, we will address their disability care needs while also giving family members relief from non-stop caregiving responsibilities. By sharing the caregiving responsibilities with a professional care provider, it improves lives not just for the individual with disability but also for family members.
Every Moment Matters Agency's Employment First and Community Vocational Rehabilitation program starts with the presumption that people with a disability can work, then educates and empowers them in their desire for employment, with employment in the general workforce being the first option pursued. We offer work experience opportunities and community access training that us performed in a work setting alongside job coaches and supported employment specialists.
