Dare
to Dream Attendant Services
would like to keep people
in their homes and out
of institutions and Hospitals.
Institutionalized from
home??:
"Nearly
11.9 % of 1,304,810
people in nursing
facilities were admitted
directly from their
home or apartments.
Despite the common
misconception, these
people were not admitted
from an acute care
hospital, a rehabilitation
hospital, another
nursing home, or either
a board and care,
assisted living or
group home."

| Message
from the President :
Conceptualized
in 2005, Dare to Dream
Attendant Services
strives to keep people
with disabilities
and seniors comfortable
in their homes. So
often in today's world,
we isolate the elderly
and disabled by putting
people into facilities,
where they are often
prevented from a life
of choice and stripped
of dignities. Every
human being deserves
the right live by
their own choices
and if need be, let
the persons care be
done by a personal
assistant or a registered
nurse. As the owner
of Dare to Dream Attendant
Services and a person
with a disability
myself, I know what
it is like having
to depend on people
and trust people coming
into my home and seeing
the very intimate
details of my life.
I feel, as the president
of this company, it
is my highest regard
to expect nothing
less than the best
from my staff. |
|
|
| We C.A.R.E. |
|
| Community
- is a place for everyone. People with disabilities
and seniors deserve the right to live at home with quality
care, consumer choice and maximum independence. Due
to my own disability, I use a wheelchair, and have started
this business to make sure that people with disabilities
and seniors alike, get to participate in the universal
dream of a life of as much freedom and independence
as possible. |
Ability
- We believe that everyone has the ability
to live their own lives and make their own decisions.
Our providers help facilitate the abilities of the individual.
The disability is put aside when there is above average
care that can be provided on a personal or non-personal
care level. |
| Respect
- Our providers understand that everyone has different
needs and different capabilities. We respect the right
of the individual to be involved in the process of care.
We also respect the array of different cultures that
exist in our world. The people who Dare to Dream Attendant
Services employs are people who we demand respect and
integrity from, from the time they walk in the door.
There is a strict application and fingerprinting process
from the Department of Justice. I, myself, if you haven't
already figured it out from the front cover, require
assistance 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, so I understand
the real meaning of respect from many different levels.
Part of respect means having to be on-time; to be a
hard worker, but most importantly, love what you do
and who you work with. |
Empowerment
- To be empowered means, to someone with
a disability, the right to be able to live life the
same way everyone does. We empower people with disabilities
and seniors by giving them choices in everything they
do. Everyone deserves to feel good about their mind,
body, and spirit. Our caregivers understand this and
do their job well the first time. Dare to Dream Attendant
Services hopes to empower more and more seniors and
people with disabilities.

| Knowing
the difference
Nursing care vs. Personal
Care
Nursing Care:
A client will often request nursing care for in home
medical treatment, monitoring, safety, and recovery
of acutely or chronically ill or injured people, the
health maintenance of healthy individuals, and the
on-going treatment and assessment of life-threatening
medical emergencies in a wide range of health care
settings.
Personal Care:
A client will often ask
for personal care when non-invasive care is needed.
This may include a wide range of activities including
dressing, bathing, grooming, feeding, transfers, repositioning,
companionship, assistance with toileting, mobility
assistance, running errands, and laundry. |
