About

Meaningful, Empowering, Opportunity

Discovering Pathways empowers adults with disabilities by offering person-centered community-based day service and respite care programs that create meaningful opportunities for personal growth and enhanced quality of life. We believe in fostering authentic connections by carefully matching Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) with individuals based on shared interests, allowing for natural interactions and the building of trust. This personalized approach helps individuals feel confident and comfortable while learning essential community living skills, guiding them toward greater independence.

How We Can Help

To learn more about our Respite Care and Person-Centered Day Service Programs, please call us at 847-815-6808 or send us a message.

Our Respite Care Services offer families and caregivers a much-needed break while ensuring their loved ones receive high-quality, nurturing care. We provide flexible, community and home-based support that helps prevent caregiver burnout, allowing individuals to recharge while their family members engage in meaningful activities. Our goal is to foster a healthy balance, supporting both caregivers and those they care for, with personalized care plans designed to promote independence, well-being, and peace of mind.

Our Person-Centered Day Services are designed to empower individuals by focusing on their unique strengths, interests, and aspirations, providing opportunities for personal growth and community involvement. Through flexible, volunteer-driven programming, we encourage independence, self-advocacy, and the development of life skills, helping individuals set and achieve meaningful goals. Our nurturing environment supports each person’s journey toward greater autonomy, self-esteem, and becoming active, contributing members of their community.

We've Joined Forces

We're serving more. Because of you.

In order to effectively combat the epidemic of homelessness affecting nearly 80,000 people in New York City and to meet the needs of our neighbors across the New York metro area, Caridad and Drib Rescue Mission have joined forces with The Env Mission. Leveraging more than 400 years of combined service, three historic organizations have united to reimagine the fight against poverty and homelessness.
