What Is the San Diego Regional Center?

The San Diego Regional Center is a state-funded agency that coordinates services and support for

individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including
autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and related conditions. It serves both children and adults throughout San Diego County. Families work with an assigned service coordinator who develops an Individual Program Plan and authorizes services based on their loved one’s specific goals and needs.

Not yet connected with SDRC? Call us first at (858) 270-1700. We know the intake process and can help you understand whether your family qualifies. You can also reach SDRC directly at sdrc.org.

What We Provide Through SDRC

We are vendored to provide two core services through the San Diego Regional Center for children and adults ages 3 and up.

Respite Care

The Regional Center calls it respite care. What it actually means is giving you a break. Our thoroughly screened caregivers come to your home so you can step away, rest, and handle what you need to handle. These are professionals who understand behavioral support and daily routines, not a babysitting registry. Learn more about how our dedicated Respite and Short-Term Care services help family caregivers take time to rest and recharge while ensuring their loved one receives compassionate support.

Personal Assistance

Flexible, one-on-one support built around your loved one’s IPP goals. That might mean working on independent living skills at home in Hillcrest, supporting someone through their morning routine in Clairemont, or accompanying an individual to a program in Mission Valley. Personal assistance includes help with daily tasks like bathing, grooming, dressing, meal prep, and getting around the community safely.

You Choose Your Caregiver

Through SDRC’s personal caregiver program, you can designate someone you already trust as your paid caregiver. We have siblings caring for siblings, grandmothers caring for grandchildren, and friends caring for friends. ComForCare serves as the employer of record and handles all hiring, payroll, compliance, and paperwork so your family can focus on care.

Why Families in Central San Diego Choose ComForCare

We have been serving families in this community for over 20 years. We know the neighborhoods, the resources, and what it means to show up for families who depend on us. This is not a national call center. Our owner Hasan Ali cofounded the Special Needs Business Coalition of San Diego and serves on the steering committee of the Caregiver Coalition of San Diego. This community is personal to him.

We also offer something most vendors do not. Through SDRC’s personal caregiver program, we have siblings caring for siblings, grandmothers caring for grandchildren, and friends caring for friends. We handle all the employment paperwork so the people your loved one already trusts can be paid to provide their care.
