Discovering Pathways provides specialized day services and respite care programs for adults with disabilities, focusing on creating opportunities, fostering community involvement, and enhancing quality of life through a person-centered approach.
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
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.
