Since its founding in 1977, Helping Restore Ability (HRA) has been at the forefront of providing essential support for Texans with disabilities. Originating as the Arlington Handicapped Association, the organization was established by Sam Provence and his dedicated friends, driven by a vision that a physical disability should not hinder an individual’s participation in society. Today, as a licensed 501(c)(3) nonprofit, HRA continues to champion this vision, offering a range of services designed to promote independence and enhance quality of life for those with disabilities.
Understanding Agency Directed Services
One of the core offerings of Helping Restore Ability is their Agency Directed Services model. This approach ensures that clients receive direct support from professional staff who are managed by HRA. The agency takes responsibility for maintaining client records, scheduling, and ensuring the quality of care provided. This model is specifically available in North Texas and includes a variety of service plans tailored to meet individual needs.
Types of Service Plans Offered
HRA provides several service plans under the Agency Directed Services model, each designed to cater to different aspects of client care:
- Community Attendant Services: This plan offers in-home attendants for adults who require assistance with specific medical tasks.
- Primary Home Care: For clients with a physician-prescribed care plan, this service provides comprehensive in-home care.
- Family Care: Tailored for adults with functional limitations, this service helps with daily activities.
