As a single parent I struggled to find a support system, let alone someone who could manage my daughter who is nonverbal and has behaviors. I was having a hard time finding a respite company because there were hardly any workers and the companies we did find would let us go because they weren't equipped. At that point I felt hopeless, I was crying calling my regional worker asking for help. She referred us to Star Developmental Services and that's when we met Ms. Dana and Mr. Windell. Since then things have been great. Ms. Dana built a bond with my daughter right away. She can read what she wants, is able to redirect her when she is having behaviors, feels comfortable enough I can trust her on outings! Not only that but she feels like family, treats my daughter like anybody else. They are punctual and flexible and experienced. We love Star Developmental Services.

If you are searching for exceptional respite care for your loved one, I highly recommend Star Developmental Services Inc. I personally selected this company for my son, Joshua, in August of 2021 and have not regretted it for one minute. We knew the owner/founder, Dana Davis, through another situation and she had informed us that she was going to start a respite service in our area. We are extremely grateful that she reached out to us and it has been a rewarding experience for my family in more ways than I can ever express. The standard of care they have provided is positive, compassionate and caring. The caretaker, Mr. Wendell, who has been assigned to my son, has years of experience with persons of special abilities. He is engaging and interactive and most importantly, attentive to what Joshua needs and wants. They have developed a relationship that makes me feel comfortable and at ease because I know my son will be safe and happy under his supervision. Thank you Star Developmental Services for your expertise and professionalism in providing quality care to those who need it, especially our Joshua.

When it comes to our son, G, who is 8 yrs old, we really value quality care for him and it is hard to find that. Star Development goes above and beyond in not only having in taken the time to get to know our son and family beforehand, but also throughout respite, learning and growing constantly with us as a family. We were in search of an agency that stood out and were ready to give up until we found them. This is the first of respite that has made us feel comfortable in handling our son’s behaviors. It is relieving when you find your people that you can put trust in. What a blessing this agency has been and we are so grateful! We think of them as family now.
