Safety-Care® for Human and Social Services

Dignified, Safe Support in Community and Residential Settings 

Human services professionals often serve individuals with diverse behavioral and emotional needs across residential, vocational, and day programs. Safety-Care® equips staff with the tools to prevent crisis, de-escalate behavior, and respond safely when necessary—all while preserving the dignity and independence of the people they support.

Who We Support in Human Services 

Safety-Care® is used in group homes, foster care, residential and outpatient treatment centers, addiction recovery programs, and elder care settings. We support direct support professionals (DSPs), case managers, residential supervisors, behavioral health technicians, and program directors—those who are hands-on every day, building safety and trust in real-time.

At Guidewire, it is our mission to support individuals by helping them realize full and meaningful lives. Since our transition to Safety-Care®, we have seen a significant decline in emergency restraints across the Agency. This translates to a higher quality of life for the individuals and a more thorough, evidence-based, and effective education for our staff members. Safety-Care is a welcome partner in supporting individuals with dignity and respect.
