Zandra Polard discusses Educare, an agency supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Executive Director, Kelli Slaughter, explains that Educare provides services from age 18 onwards, with five residential homes in Las Vegas catering to those with high medical needs, such as g-tubes and colostomy bags. Staff undergo extensive training, including 40 hours initially, and homes house six individuals with 24/7 care. Educare receives referrals from hospitals and nursing homes and emphasizes independence and social activities. The agency also offers employment opportunities and benefits for staff. The conversation highlights the need for more services and the challenges in providing care for those with complex needs.
