Disability Advocacy Services

Mental Health
Mental illness is finally being recognized by our society as a serious and debilitating medical condition. Mental illness can not only affect the individual from becoming a contributing member of society but has a negative effect on every single aspect of the person’s life. Vital Care Partners is experienced in working with the many challenges mental health issues present for the client. Our goal has always been to understand the client’s needs, obtain the best possible care, educate families, and alter living arrangements when necessary to provide the client with the best opportunity for success. Within this process, honoring the value of the individual and considering the best interests of the person are consistently a key part.

Physical Disabilities
Physical limitations obtained either from birth or by accident are not only a visible sign of challenges, but the basis of misunderstanding and prejudice for every person who must deal with this type of disability. For those who love them or try to help, the frustration of not knowing where to begin occurs nearly every day. Vital Care Partners helps many families and professionals identify the needs of those with physical disabilities. Even when care is in process, such as when home care is in place and doctors are involved, Vital Care Partners has been successful in streamlining and coordinating the services, many times heightening successful outcomes.

Intellectually Disabled Individuals
Intellectually disabled individuals often begin from birth. The journey is a long and difficult one, not just for them, but for their parents and families. In these cases, Vital Care Partners involvement goes beyond “quarterbacking” the medical aspects for the client and includes advocating for our client to maximize services within the school and vocational programs as well. Accessing all available public programs is an integral part of the Vital Care Partners process. Vital Care Partners educates the parents, and many times the vocational and educational partners, of options available, giving them the information needed to create the most life-affirming choices for the client.

A Strategic Plan
Many of our clients are challenged in some aspects of their life while very capable in others. Vital Care Partners performs a thorough needs assessment, develops a strategic plan and assists in helping them live as enriched, fulfilled and independent a life as possible.
