About Family Alliance Care
PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL CARE FOR I/DD
At Family Alliance Care, we are dedicated to enhancing the lives of I/DD in the tri-state Cincinnati, Ohio area by offering compassionate, customized day-to-day care and support.
We focus exclusively on providing waiver services to people who are eligible with DODD (Department of Developmental Disabilities). Whether in their home or out in the community, we champion self-determination, independence, and an active lifestyle through a person-centered approach.
Our services range from Homemaker/Personal Care, Participant-Directed HPC (PD-HPC), Supported Living, Shared Living, HPC Transportation, Non-Medical Transportation (NMT), and Certified Medication Administration.
What is DODD?
"DODD" stands for "Department of Developmental Disabilities," specifically referring to the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities, which oversees a statewide system of services for I/DD, focusing on their health, safety, community participation, and employment opportunities.
What is a DSP?
DSP stands for Direct Support Professional. A DSP is a teacher, a mentor, and a friend. A DSP is far more than just a caregiver. A DSP helps facilitate individuals into their communities, so they can live in an integrated setting, and helps advocate for their rights and services.
What is HPC?
HPC stands for Homemaker/Personal Care. It is designed to support a person to be more independent while meeting their daily living needs. This may include hands-on assistance, supervision, or support with tasks such as getting dressed, personal hygiene, preparing food, managing money, housekeeping, taking medication, and other day-to-day activities.
Our Person-Centered Supports
HOMEMAKER/
PERSONAL CARE (HPC)
Often called HPC, a Homemaker/personal care advances the individual's independence within his/her home and community and helps the individual meet daily living needs.
This waiver gives the person more control and authority to decide who provides their services and how those services are provided. The person must want to be in charge of staff employer responsibilities, however, they can receive assistance.
PARTICIPATE-DIRECTED HPC
(PD-HPC)
OHIO SHARED LIVING
This service provides an option for adults with a developmental disability to get the support they need while living with a family member or a caregiver. The person resides with one or more family members or caregivers, and they provide twenty percent or more of the person's care and support services. Shared Living family members and caregivers support adults with developmental disabilities in a home setting.
HPC transportation is a service that people usually receive from an HPC (homemaker personal care) provider to help them run errands, get to appointments and participate in social activities.
HPC TRANSPORTATION
NON-MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION (NMT)
Typically referred to as NMT, non-medical transportation is commonly used to help people get to and from work, volunteer activities and day program sites.
Medication Administration - training and certification developed by DODD authorizes caregivers to perform a variety of tasks for people with many different medical needs. This has a very detailed 14 hour beginner training and an annual training is required.
MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION
SUPPORTED LIVING
Allows individuals with I/DD to live in private homes or an apartment with three or fewer other people. This program enables individuals to design a custom package of daily living supports, such as HPC, remote monitoring, and nursing, to maximize independence and self-determination.
