Family Care Homes Needed  

Bethesda’s Family Care Home service is a family-style arrangement where a family or a single person cares for one or two adults with developmental disabilities in their home. Each Family Care Home strives to foster an individual’s independence and quality of life, while recognizing the need for interdependence and support. In providing room, board and personal support for the individual(s), the care provider would receive a contract that includes guidelines of care, reporting requirements as well as remuneration. Payment for services is based on a “Level” funding formula ($1,200 to $2,200 per month range) and is determined by the amount of support that an individual requires. Additionally, each Family Care Home would receive respite care funds to allow the care giver regular breaks in providing support. Each Family Care Home would receive ongoing support from the agency. 

Prospective caregivers should give thoughtful consideration and seek out information before assuming the role of professional caregiver. Providing 24-hour care to another person requires an individual with unique characteristics. It is not a role that everyone can successfully assume. For those who are suited, family care becomes a lifestyle choice that can be extremely rewarding. A compatible placement enriches their lives and the lives of their family members. Family members need to decide what supports they would need, and what adjustments would be required. Your family should also recognize its strengths and its limitations. Bethesda will help to determine what type of person would be most compatible with your family. What personality traits, hobbies, interests, energy level and routine would the individual(s) have, in order to have a good match with a family? 

LANGLEY AREA:  Bethesda is seeking a Christian Home in the Langley area for a gentleman with developmental disabilities who is in need of a loving, safe environment and supportive care.  An understanding of seizure disorder would be an asset.
