HCBS and CFTSS Services
Connecting Care & Strengthening Families
What Is Carebridge?
Carebridge provides compassionate, in-home, and community-based support for children and youth with mental health, medical, and developmental needs.
We bridge a gap between families and essential services – helping children thrive in their daily lives.
HCBS Services
Crisis Respite
Temporary, short-term care for children experiencing a crisis that makes it unsafe or difficult for them to stay at home. We provide a safe environment and professional support to stabilize the child and prevent hospitalization or placement in a more restrictive setting.
Planned Respite
Scheduled, short-term care that gives caregivers a break while ensuring the child is in a safe and structured environment. It allows parents or guardians time to rest, work, or handle other responsibilities while their child is engaged in supervised activities.
Prevocational Services
Helps older children and teens develop essential work-related skills like communication, problem-solving, and time management. These services prepare them for future employment by building confidence and teaching workplace expectations.
Caregiver / Family Advocacy And Support Services
Provides guidance, education, and emotional support to parents and caregivers of children with special needs. It helps families navigate available services, advocate for their child’s needs, and connect with useful resources.
CFTSS Services
