ACCESS SERVICES Everas staff provide direct support that people need to participate in the community as well as develop skills to increase independence. Services range from support in accessing and utilizing local community resources, for example the bank or food store, to attending a social event or a class. Service plans are developed and overseen by a Master’s Level Social Worker based on the person’s goals and support needs and work towards achieving the highest possible potential for independence. Our services are available for people who require total care, as well as people requiring intermittent support and supervision for specific activities of daily living. IN-HOME RESPITE Support for families who are the primary caregiver of a person with disabilities is critical to ensure the caregiver receives relief to replenish energy and reduce stress. Respite services provide time for the primary caregiver to spend time with other family members and take care of personal needs with the peace of mind that an experienced and professionally trained person is responsible for their loved one’s needs.
