Understanding Developmental Services: Supporting Independence and Growth

Individuals with developmental disabilities deserve the opportunity to live fulfilling, independent lives. Developmental Services play a vital role in helping individuals build life skills, gain confidence, and participate meaningfully in their communities.

At Merciful Homecare Services, our Developmental Services focus on empowerment, respect, and individualized support.

What Are Developmental Services?

Developmental Services provide assistance with daily living activities, personal care, and skill development for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. These services are designed to support—not limit—independence.

Person-Centered Care Matters

No two individuals are the same. That’s why we take a person-centered approach, creating care plans that reflect each individual’s goals, abilities, and preferences.

Community Engagement and Daily Living Skills

Our caregivers support individuals with:

• Daily routines and personal care

• Meal preparation and household skills

• Community participation and social activities

• Structured routines that promote confidence

A Partner for Families

We work closely with families to ensure consistent, compassionate care that aligns with each individual’s long-term goals.

Developmental Services aren’t just about care—they’re about opportunity, growth, and dignity.
