Our DSPs help people with disabilities by providing care that meets their personal needs. They can also drive them places if their plan allows mileage payment and matches approved supports.

Attendant Care

Our fun activities help adults make friends and learn social skills. They spend time together doing things they enjoy, building strong friendships in a safe and welcoming place within their community.

Day Support Activities

DSPs help people learn everyday skills like cooking, cleaning, and shopping so they can be independent, feel more confident, and enjoy doing things safely on their own at home and outside.

Daily Living Skills

Respite care helps families by sending kind caregivers to homes, offering urgent help, daytime support, or overnight care, so family members get important breaks to rest and recharge when needed.

DSPs help people with disabilities do everyday things they need, like getting dressed, eating, and going places. If approved in their plans, DSPs can also drive them where they need.

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.
