Providing care for a child with physical or developmental disabilities is a demanding job for any parent. However, as their child reaches adulthood, parents must make significant decisions regarding the in-home care of their son or daughter. Many parents will choose to continue providing care for their child at home, but it is important to look into other options as well. Hiring a personal care assistant to provide respite services for you and your adult child may be the answer.
Adult children with special needs can often live on their own, but may require occasional care to stay independent.

Another option for parents is to become PCA certified to get paid for taking care of a family member. This is a great option for parents who dedicate a majority of their day to caring for their child and are unable to work outside the home. Parents are able to serve as their child’s personal care assistant provided the adult child is over the age of 18. Parents may also receive PCA training and support through a home care agency like Best Home Care in order to become certified.
