It’s not a typical caregiving job.

As an Intandem Family Care Provider, you welcome someone into your home and support their everyday life.

That means shared meals, daily routines, and helping someone grow more independent—within a real home environment.

Watch the video to hear how Tracy got started, and how we support you every step of the way.

You scream, I scream, INTANDEM screams for ICE CREAM! 🍦☀️
The beautiful weather has everyone buzzing and ready to get out and enjoy some local favorites! Our crew has been making the most of it with sweet stops along the way.
A special thank you to Twist N Shake in Olean and Oh Sugar! in Lockport for taking such great care of us and serving up the best summer treats around!
Nothing brings smiles quite like sunshine, community, and a scoop (or two 😉).

🐄 We’re still buzzing about this trip to the dairy 🥛 🍦
On Friday morning, Hoover's Dairy graciously welcomed members of our Prevocational program for a tour of the farm in Sanborn. A fifth-generation family business, Hoover’s has been bottling milk since 1920 and making deliveries for more than 100 years, still using glass bottles to this day! We toured the warehouse and shop and learned all about the bottling, cleaning, pasteurization and homogenization process – and how they make ice cream. Then we met some very friendly cows!
And no trip to Hoover’s is complete without a visit to the restaurant next door for lunch and ice cream. Thanks to Hoover’s for a fantastic Friday!

“It is the most family-oriented place I have ever worked. I have never felt like an outsider here, and I have a new respect for what this agency does. After over 40 years of being in customer service in one form or another, I have finally found my work home.”

Music has a special way of bringing people together, and we love every moment of it! From toe taps to full-on dance moves, it’s all about having fun, building confidence, and connecting with others.

This week, we turned up the music and hosted a couple of dance-a-thons, filled with energy, laughter, and plenty of unforgettable moves!

We were thrilled to partner with ConnectLife as they brought their mobile blood donation bus to our Allegany location.

We’re already looking forward to their next visit!

Day Program teamed up with Wellness for a fun Easter Egg Hunt that got us moving and thinking healthy!

Each egg had an instruction for a simple exercise or a good thought, like “Name 3 things you like about yourself.”

We also got to participate in an obstacle course that helped us work on fine motor skills. The fun times ended with a dance party that got us strutting our stuff to some of our favorite songs!
