At Gallant Care, we recognize that each person with an intellectual or developmental disability (I/DD) has unique strengths, preferences, and routines. Our non-medical caregivers provide respectful, patient, and consistent support that promotes safety, comfort, and independence—while giving families reliable relief and partnership.

Our I/DD Support Services Include

  • Personal Care Assistance – Dignified help with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and incontinence care.

  • Daily Living Skills & Routines – Gentle prompting and cueing for hygiene, meals, and household tasks; use of visual schedules or social stories (when provided by family/therapists).

  • Safety Supervision – Attentive presence, redirection, and routine-based strategies to reduce fall, wandering, and elopement risks (non-restrictive, non-clinical).

  • Companionship & Engagement – Choice-led activities, games, crafts, movement, and conversation to support social and emotional well-being.

  • Mobility Support – Safe walking assistance, transfers, and repositioning to promote comfort and reduce strain.

  • Meal Preparation & Hydration – Simple, nutritious meal prep aligned with preferences and any dietary guidance from the family.

  • Medication Reminders – Timely, gentle reminders to take medications as directed (no medical administration).

  • Light Housekeeping – Tidy shared spaces, dishes, laundry, and bed linens for a clean, predictable environment.

  • Community Access & Transportation – Rides to non-medical activities/appointments; support with community outings and structured recreation.

  • Family Respite – Short breaks, overnights, weekends, or recurring coverage so caregivers can rest and recharge.

All services are non-medical. We do not perform clinical procedures or behavioral therapy; instead, we follow your family’s existing strategies and collaborate with your care team.
