Respite care can range from a few hours to several days or even weeks, depending on your needs. At Rajo Home Care Services, we offer flexible options to accommodate different family situations.

What services are included in respite care?

Respite care includes personal hygiene assistance, meal preparation, medication reminders, companionship, light housekeeping, and more — depending on the client’s needs and the setting (in-home or out-of-home).

Can I schedule respite care for a specific date or event?

Yes! We encourage families to schedule respite care in advance, especially if it’s tied to travel, appointments, or events. We’ll work with you to ensure seamless coverage.

Is respite care covered by insurance or government programs?6+

In some cases, respite care may be covered by insurance plans or programs like Medicaid or the NDIS (for Australian clients). We recommend checking with your provider or contacting us for guidance.

Empowering Lives with Compassionate Support: Rajo Home Care’s ICLS Services

At Rajo Home Care, we believe that every individual deserves the dignity, freedom, and support to live a life that reflects their unique goals, preferences, and capabilities. That’s why we proudly offer ICLS services — Individualized Home Supports — designed to enhance independence, promote well-being, and foster meaningful connections within the community. Our mission is rooted in compassion, respect, and empowerment, helping individuals live fulfilling lives in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes or chosen community settings.

ICLS services, or Individualized Community Living Supports, are thoughtfully structured programs that provide personalized assistance to individuals who require support to live as independently as possible. These services are not one-size-fits-all. Instead, they are designed to reflect the unique preferences, challenges, and abilities of each client.

Rajo Home Care believes that support should enhance rather than restrict independence. Our ICLS services are built on the foundation of trust and empathy, ensuring that clients and their families feel heard, respected, and empowered every step of the way.

The Importance of Individualized Home Supports

One of the key elements of ICLS is individualized home supports. Every person’s situation is different, and the type of assistance required varies based on personal goals, health conditions, and living environments. Individualized home supports are customized care plans designed to meet each client’s specific needs while offering flexibility and dignity.

With individualized home supports, clients receive tailored assistance with tasks such as:

Personal hygiene and grooming
Medication reminders and healthcare monitoring
Household chores, laundry, and maintenance
Meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking
Financial management and bill payments
Access to healthcare services and therapy

These supports are delivered in a way that respects the individual’s preferences and cultural background, ensuring that care aligns with their lifestyle and values. Rajo Home Care’s team works closely with clients and their families to develop a care plan that reflects their aspirations while providing practical assistance.

Through individualized home supports, clients can maintain their independence without sacrificing their safety or well-being. The goal is to empower them to live their best life with confidence and stability.

Community Living Supports: Building Connections and Opportunities

In addition to personalized care at home, community living supports play a crucial role in helping clients thrive. These supports aim to encourage social interaction, skill development, and access to resources that enrich an individual’s quality of life.

Community living supports offered by Rajo Home Care include:

Facilitating participation in community events, classes, and support groups
Assisting with transportation to recreational activities, job training, or volunteer opportunities
Encouraging social connections and friendships
Helping clients navigate public services and community programs
Supporting involvement in advocacy and leadership initiatives

Living independently doesn’t mean being isolated. Community engagement fosters a sense of belonging, purpose, and confidence. Our approach is holistic — we believe that social inclusion, skill-building, and access to opportunities are essential for long-term success and well-being.

Clients are encouraged to explore their interests, pursue hobbies, and create networks of support. Whether it’s joining a local art class, participating in a fitness group, or connecting with neighbors, community living supports make it possible for individuals to experience life fully and without unnecessary barriers.

How Rajo Home Care’s ICLS Services Stand Apart

At Rajo Home Care, we understand that caregiving is not about simply meeting basic needs — it’s about empowering individuals to live with purpose and joy. Our approach to ICLS services is grounded in respect, compassion, and client-centered care.

Here’s what sets us apart:

1. Personalized Care Plans: Every client’s situation is unique. Our team works in partnership with clients and families to design customized care plans that address their specific goals and challenges.

2. Holistic Support: We don’t just provide assistance with tasks; we support emotional, social, and psychological well-being. Our goal is to help clients build confidence and resilience.

3. Community Integration: We focus on building meaningful connections with local resources, organizations, and activities, making it easier for clients to participate fully in their communities.

Who Can Benefit from ICLS Services?

ICLS services are particularly beneficial for individuals who require support in managing daily tasks or accessing community resources but wish to remain in their homes or chosen living arrangements. Some examples include:

Adults with developmental or intellectual disabilities
Seniors living with chronic conditions or age-related challenges
Individuals recovering from illness or injury
People seeking support to live independently after hospitalization or institutional care
Families seeking respite care or assistance in caregiving

Regardless of the specific circumstances, ICLS services are tailored to meet the needs of each person, helping them achieve personal goals while enhancing their quality of life.

A Collaborative Approach: Involving Families and Caregivers

At Rajo Home Care, we understand that families and caregivers play a vital role in supporting individuals on their journey toward independence. That’s why we foster open communication and collaboration, involving loved ones in care planning and progress monitoring.

We work to:

Provide education and training to caregivers to better support their family members
Offer respite care services to give caregivers time to rest and recharge
Address concerns and questions through transparent communication
Ensure that both clients and families feel empowered in making informed decisions

This collaborative approach strengthens support networks and creates an environment where clients feel secure, respected, and heard.

Measuring Success: Outcomes That Matter

Success in ICLS services isn’t measured by the number of tasks completed — it’s about improving clients’ lives in meaningful ways. At Rajo Home Care, we track outcomes that matter most to each individual, such as:

Increased confidence and self-esteem
Greater independence in managing daily activities
Enhanced social engagement and relationships
Improved health and wellness
A sense of belonging and purpose within the community

By focusing on client-centered outcomes, we ensure that our services remain aligned with personal aspirations and evolving needs.
