Family Supports

Wabash Center’s Family Supports program provides support services to individuals in their family homes. The stability of familial relationships is often the most successful way to support a loved one. There are multiple options available to find a good match of staff for the family.

Both Wabash Center and the family can interview potential caretakers.
Family can refer a preferred caregiver to be hired and serve as the caregiver.
Family members can be hired as staff to work with their loved one.

Wabash Center supports approximately two hundred families in the Greater Lafayette area and Northwest Indiana.

Meet Mary!

Wabash Center’s Family Supports team has served Mary for more than 14 years. Mary adopted a service dog, and she recently brought him home. It is her dream to be able to take care of a pet of her own. Mary and Jupiter were meant to be -- they even share the same birthday!
Jupiter will add joy to Mary’s day-to-day, and he will also support improving her quality of life. Jupiter has been trained to support Mary medically and emotionally. Mary welcomed him home in April. We can’t wait to watch Mary and Jupiter continue to grow together!

Wabash Center also offers Structured Family Caregiving. This service is comparable to a foster care model. The caregiver is responsible for daily oversight and support of the individual. Wabash Center oversees the arrangement and monitors the services provided.

Family Supports are offered at our Greater Lafayette and Northwest Indiana locations.
