These services allow seniors to live independently in their own home while maintaining the quality of life they have come to expect. CHEER is a licensed, bonded, and insured Personal Assistance Service Agency (PASA).
Respite Care
Respite care services are also available to assist the caregivers who are juggling jobs, personal lives and caring for a loved one. Whether your needs are short-term or long-term, whether you need help once a week or twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, CHEER can help. For decades, Delaware’s Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities (DSAAPD) has awarded contracts for personal and respite care to CHEER.
