Our activities help adults make new friends and be part of the community by doing fun things together. This builds social skills and confidence in a safe and welcoming place.

My son & his domestic partner are clients of Essential Services, and they are hands down the best service company they have been associated with. Essential has made my life as legal guardian, so much easier. They help the “kids” with daily activities & social outings, that keep them busy & connected with the community. I can’t recommend them enough, for special needs adults that need assistance navigating life’s challenges & having a sense of belonging. All of their employees are caring & amazing individuals.

How does Essential Services coordinate with brokerage and IDD offices?
At Essential Services, we don’t pass client information directly from case managers to DSPs. Instead, our dedicated Service Coordinator Team bridges the gap between DD Services/Brokerage offices and our DSPs. Service Coordinators work closely with case managers, clients, and DSPs to create strong caregiver matches tailored to each individual’s needs.

Once a client begins receiving support, our administrative team continues to provide regular progress notes and updates to the case manager, helping ensure the client is meeting their goals and receiving meaningful day-to-day support.
