Answering Your Key Questions

How do I we set up transportation services?

Ask your service coordinator at the Regional Center to refer you to Home of Guiding Hands Transportation Services.

How does the funding work?

A variety of funding sources support Residential opportunities. Funding can often be confusing and overwhelming — we’ll help you figure it out along with the Regional Center.  Everyone has different benefits available.  Services are generally covered through an individual’s benefits, such as Social Security, Medi-Cal, or Regional Center funding.  Payeeship support is also available.

What does the staffing look like?

Each vehicle has one license driver, as well as one aide that rides in the passenger portion of the bus.

What kind of personal care support is provided?

Dignified and respectful support. Personal care includes assistance with daily activities such as showering, dressing, grooming, toileting, nutrition, mealtimes, and medication administration.

What kind of behavioral support is provided?

We have established experience working with people who have behavior challenges. HGH serves people with a wide variety of behavioral challenges including physical and verbal outbursts, self-injury, aggression, and property destruction. An initial screening process and regular reviews offers social-emotional support to help individuals learn healthier coping skills and promotes safety.

What other services does HGH offer? Can I receive more than 1 service from HGH?

HGH often serves people in multiple programs.  Whether receiving several services at the same time or when transitioning from one HGH program to another, we will provide the support you need.  Please see our service pages for information about all our programs.  For more specific information or additional questions, contact us at 619-938-2850 or info@guidinghands.org.
