Mission

ATPC3 will provide respite care for caregivers (families, guardians, and service providers) who need time to focus on themselves. Caring for adults with ID can be taxing and often leaves the caregiver to feel isolated, exhausted, and grieving. ATPC3’s respite care is like breathing oxygen into caregivers to continue providing for their wonderful adults. ATPC3 provides these dependent adults a place for them to be themselves and for caregivers to have a break. We go to great lengths to ensure that all our environments are safe and secure.

Vision

Our long-term vision is to provide 24/7 residential care, life skills, and community living for adults with disabilities in order for them to live the best lives possible. Our current focus is serving adults with ID. We will welcome and serve other adults with disabilities as we develop the capabilities to properly care for them. As we grow and are better equipped, our support will expand to serve the greater demand in this community. Putting Jesus first in all we do, ATPC3 seeks to be a Christian community where everyone is valued and is gifted with individual talents and gifts to serve. We believe everyone should have access to God and be an active, integral part of the Body of Christ. It’s our prayer that everyone we serve would grow in their relationship with God. Our respite program and long-term vision includes spiritual formation, literacy, vocational training, personal care, teaching independence, recreation & leisure, social skills, community navigation, and self-advocacy. ATPC3 recognizes the dignity of our participants and is blessed with the privilege of serving them. Left unto ourselves, this goal is impossible. However, with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26)

The Heart of ATPC3:

Our nephew Aaron has such a love for life and living it to the fullest. His love for Christ and others was the very fabric of who he is. That love also extends to fun-filled activities ranging from Challenger baseball, Basketball, Therapeutic horseback riding, hiking and traveling, just to name a few. It is from Aaron that we learned what unconditional love looks like. His smile lights up a room and his laughter makes everyone smile. Aaron has Down Syndrome, is hearing impaired, and has a limited vocabulary. He trusts almost everyone and loves socializing with people. Aaron will need support for the rest of his life, which is why we created ATPC3. We want a place where people like Aaron can come, live life to the fullest, while being safe and cared for.

"As You Have Done Unto the Least of These,You Have Done Unto Me"

Jesus (Matthew 25:40)

Why Respite:

Families with a special needs adult often experience high levels of stress due to the unique challenges of caregiving, which can include managing medical needs, advocating for educational support, and coping with emotional and physical demands. This stress can impact the overall well-being of the family, leading to feelings of fatigue, anxiety, and social isolation.

Hourly Respite

ATPC3 provides hourly respite for parents, caregivers, or guardians who have appointments that they need to attend by themselves. The program is held at our house.

Overnight Respite

ATPC3 provides a fun overnight experience so that parents, caregivers, or guardians get a midweek break from caretaking while their adult with ID has an opportunity to gain independence and peer-to-peer socialization skills. The program is held at our house.

Weekend Respite

ATPC3 provides respite for the weekend, which runs from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. These adults will enjoy activities and fun while their parents, caregivers, or guardians get the weekend off to rest, spend time with other children, or reconnect with family and friends. The program is held at our house.
