SERVICES

Since 1981, Community Based Services has been earning trust through commitment and compassion in caring for people. Our goal is to always provide each person with opportunities for a meaningful life, tailored to their unique preferences and personalities, in an environment that is safe and nurturing.

  • In-Home and Site-Based Respite

    Respite provides an opportunity for caregivers to take some needed time off while offering peace of mind that a loved one is being cared for by an experienced professional. Respite services are available for families either in-home on an hourly basis, or at one of our site-based locations where individuals can engage in peer socialization and skill-building activities that help develop independence.
