Because nothing is more important than having a comfortable place to call home, Lifetime Assistance provides residential services to over 450 children and adults with developmental disabilities in a variety of settings and neighborhoods throughout the Greater Rochester area.
Community Homes
 Lifetime Assistance offers a wide range of housing alternatives to meet each individual's needs, while promoting the greatest possible level of independence and ability. Each home varies in its level of professional staff support. Most homes provide 24-hour, around-the-clock staffing. In addition, some homes offer intensive clinical and medical services. Others might focus more on socialization and activities of daily living. Services are tailored to meet each individual’s needs and preferences. Individuals of all ages with all levels of ability can find the right place to call “home” at Lifetime Assistance. Our highly qualified staff members (including direct support professionals, social workers, nurses, and recreation and behavior specialists) provide the support, camaraderie, guidance and supervision each individual requires.
Family Care Services
Through this Lifetime Assistance service, individuals with developmental disabilities of all ages are provided an opportunity to live with a family in the community.
Family care providers receive professional training and on-going support to assist them in meeting the needs of the individuals in their homes. Providers are licensed by New York State. Lifetime Assistance currently offers Family Care Services throughout Monroe, Genesee, Orleans and Livingston counties.
Foster Care Program
The Lifetime Assistance Foster Care Program provides young people with developmental disabilities a temporary home with a family until they can return to their families of origin, or move on to other supportive residential services. Foster Care providers undergo comprehensive training and are cleared through the NYS Child Abuse Registry.
In-Home Support Services
Lifetime Assistance In-Home Support Services (also known as Residential Habilitation) are designed to assist individuals living in the community, either alone or with family, in developing the skills needed for greater independence.
