Gate Regional Center clients

personal assistant services. Please ask directly for Dare to Dream Attendant
Services. Our staff are qualified, compassionate individuals. They go through
a rigorous background and fingerprinting by the Department of Justice. My
staff have to undergo a physical exam, get immunizations and CPR/First Aid
certification. Our nurse oversees all of our nursing care and all nurses
must have licensing and certifications required by the state of California.
