NATIONAL DSP RECOGNITION WEEK!
SEPTEMBER 10-16TH

September 5th 2023

 

September 10th-16th is National DSP Recognition Week, which stands as a reminder to honor and appreciate the dedicated individuals who quietly make a profound impact on the lives of those with disabilities. Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are the unsung heroes who provide unwavering support, compassion, and companionship to individuals with disabilities; empowering them to lead fulfilling lives.

During the height of the Covid Pandemic, the resilience and dedication of our DSPs shone even brighter. They faced unprecedented challenges with unwavering determination, ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals with disabilities in the face of a global crisis. DSPs all over the country were able to adapt to new safety protocols, often putting themselves at risk to provide essential care and companionship. Many became a lifeline for those in isolation, offering not only practical assistance but also telehealth services which provided our individuals the emotional support they needed during a time of heightened anxiety and uncertainty

We at Unique Care believe our DSPs are the backbone of disability services. They often work tirelessly to ensure the physical, emotional, and social well-being of those they serve. Their responsibilities encompass a wide range of tasks, from assisting with daily activities such as dressing and meal preparation to offering emotional support and companionship. It is their extraordinary commitment that helps individuals with disabilities thrive within their communities.

DSPs go above and beyond, often forging deep and lasting connections with those they care for. They are educators, advocates, and friends, guiding individuals toward independence, self-expression, and self-confidence. Their work is not just a job; it's a calling born out of empathy and a profound sense of purpose.

 

During National DSP Recognition Week, Unique Care celebrates these compassionate workers who touch lives with their dedication and kindness. It's a time to acknowledge their tireless efforts and the positive impact they make on our society. Their work may not always be in the spotlight, but it is undeniably vital.

 

Let's take this special week to express our heartfelt gratitude to the DSPs who give their hearts and souls to those who need their care.

Unique Care Community Services is making significant strides in expanding its services to Bronx, New York!

 

With a long-standing commitment to empowering and supporting those in need, Unique Care's new office represents a significant milestone in their mission to provide high-quality care and advocate for the rights of the intellectually and developmentally disabled community in the NYC Metro area.

 

Unmet Needs in the Bronx

 

The Bronx is home to a diverse population, including a considerable number of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Unfortunately, access to specialized care and support services in the Bronx has often been limited, leaving a significant portion of the community without the necessary resources to lead fulfilling lives. Furthermore, most of the populace is made up of immigrants, who often shy away from receiving the care their intellectually/developmentally disabled-loved-one needs.

 

Now with an office stationed at 1490 Boston Road, Unique Care answers the call for increased support  and plans on opening its doors mid-August.

 

Enhanced Services and Support

 

Unique Care is known for its person-centered approach to providing support and care to the needs of each of the individuals we serve. Our management team is dedicated to facilitating a wide range of services, including: Day-Habilitation, Community-Habilitation, Respite, Pre-Voc, and more.

 

Our expansion to the Bronx is a welcome development that brings hope and renewed possibilities to the intellectual and disabled community in the area. Their presence will undoubtedly pave the way for brighter futures and contribute to a community where everyone's abilities are recognized and celebrated.
