OUR SERVICES

Support for today.
Possibility for what comes next.

Person-centered services for children, transition-age youth, adults and older adults—at home and throughout the community.

ONE ORGANIZATION. A CONTINUUM OF SUPPORT.

Built around the person—not a diagnosis.

Purple Haven supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities from childhood through older adulthood. We begin with each person’s goals, strengths, communication, daily routines and vision for a meaningful life.

Services are coordinated with the individual, family, Coordinator of Community Services, support team and other authorized partners. Waiver-funded services must match the person’s approved plan and authorization, and availability depends on staffing and current capacity.

MARYLAND AUTISM WAIVER

Intensive Individual Support Services

Planned one-to-one support toward goals in an authorized Autism Waiver treatment plan, delivered with the required professional supervision.

Planned service
Clear by design.

Purple Haven does not determine DDA or Autism Waiver eligibility, funding, service hours or authorization. Those decisions belong to the applicable Maryland program and planning team. Contact us to discuss current capacity for a specific service and county.

AT HOME
FAMILIAR SPACES

Feel comfortable.
Be yourself.

A good visit often begins in a familiar place. A support professional can share an interest, build daily-living skills, encourage independence or help with an agreed routine.

The individual and people they trust help us understand what works so that time together has purpose and feels natural.

OUT & ABOUT
COMMUNITY TIME

Little outings.
Big moments.

A library visit, recreation, volunteering or another agreed outing can create room to explore interests, build skills and connect with the community.

Locations, timing, support needs and any transportation are planned with the individual and authorized team in advance. School pickup or travel in a worker’s car is offered only when available and properly arranged.

FOR CAREGIVERS
RESPITE SUPPORT

Time for them.
Room for you.

Caregivers need time to rest and take care of everyday life. Respite creates that space while the person receives planned support at home or at agreed community locations.

We discuss the schedule, activities and handoff so everyone knows what to expect.

HOW WE PLAN A VISIT

Clear from the first conversation.

Learn about the person

Goals, interests, communication, routines, support needs and preferred places.

Agree on the details

Activities, location, schedule, family preferences and any applicable authorization.

Keep in touch

Clear pickup and handoff arrangements, with communication about the visit.

Respite and everyday support visits are planned around your family’s needs. IISS has a separate treatment plan and professional supervision requirements; all waiver services depend on provider approval and authorization.

PROGRAMS & PAYMENT PATHWAYS

One mission.
Different paths to support.
