About the Partner / Provider

Easterseals has been serving persons with disabilities since 1948.  This section deals with services that would benefit veterans:

Adult Day Care:  This center based program is for persons with any type of acquired disability.  This includes seniors who may be frail.  A full time nurse is on staff to provide for the medical needs of the participants.  In addition, therapy services are provided if prescribed by a physician.  There is also availability to other ES services listed below. Available in New Castle and Sussex counties.

Personal Attendant Services:  Easterseals trains participants to interview and hire their own caregivers.  A personal attendant can help people with disabilities live more independent and active lives both inside and outside the home.  In some cases, family members can qualify to be paid to provide care to another family member.

Caregiver Resource Center:  An Easterseals Case Manager can help a caregiver find the information and resources they need to care for a loved one with any special need, disability or aging condition.

Respite Voucher Program:  If a family member needs relief from the stress of being a caregiver to an adult or child with a disability, this program provides grants for short term respite care to eligible Delaware residents.

Resource & Technology Demonstration Center:  Located in the New Castle center, visitors can try out hundreds of assistive devices and adapted equipment on display and learn about where and how to purchase them.

FYI:  Finance Your Independence Assistive Technology Financing Program:  Easterseals partnerships with lending institutions can help consumers obtain lower interest loans for home and vehicle modifications, as well as assistive devices.

Recreation Services:  Easterseals Camp Fairlee can provide a traditional, residential, summer camp experience for adult with all types of disabilities.  Sessions each summer last six days.  In addition there are "respite weekends" and travel trips to vacation destinations in the off season.
