A handful of staff members tend to the varying needs of three or four children per home. Depending on the level of disability and their area of greatest need, the children all receive training in a multitude of tasks such as feeding themselves, making their beds, washing their hands, and in some cases, even walking. Caring for developmentally disabled children can be a physically and mentally draining task for parents. When parents can no longer care for their developmentally handicapped children, Angelwood is there to offer relief. In addition to long-term care, Angelwood also offers temporary relief to parents who need a break.
Many children require intensive attention, patience and special training.
We offer a break for parents to get away for a weekend or a couple days with a clear conscience.
