Home and Community Supports

In-Home Family Support is a licensed habilitative service provided in a person’s home and in the community that increases and maintains a person’s physical,intellectual, emotional and social functioning.

Fraser staff not only provide services to the person with special needs, but can also train family members to increase their capabilities to care for that person.

Individual program and behavior support plans are developed following a thorough assessment of the person’s strengths and needs. Targeted goals are developed and measured based on a collaborative team process.

Respite Care is an in-home service that provides short-term relief for primary caregivers of people with special needs. The program increases family well-being, prevents maltreatment, and prevents out of home placement. Services are provided on an hourly, daily or weekend schedule, depending on need and service authorization.

Connect For Rec — Connect for Rec is a respite care program with an opportunity for children to make social connections through recreation in a safe, interactive group.

Personal Support provides supervision and assistance in the person’s home or in the community to increase independence, productivity and inclusion in the community.

Personal Support is a non-medical, non-habilitative service recommended when desired outcomes do not require skill training.

Personal Care Assistant (PCA) services provide assistance and support to eligible persons with disabilities and special health care needs who live in the community.

Services are provided by a qualified personal care assistant (PCA) and may be provided in the person’s own home or in the community, according to the PCA Care Plan. Services are designed to maintain functioning and are not considered habilitative as formal training is not involved.

Support planning options at Fraser include:

Support Planning — Fraser Support Planning (formerly Flexible Case Management) includes an individualized assessment of client and family needs, identification of resources, facilitation of communication with other agencies, and assistance in gaining access to services and support. Support is also provided to families managing their own waivers under the Consumer Directed Community Supports (CDCS) option.

Person-Centered Planning — Fraser Person-Centered Planning is based on Michael Smull’s (1996) Essential Lifestyle Planning concepts. A trained Fraser professional creates a plan to capture what is important to a person receiving services in order to maintain or improve his/her quality of life.

Partnership Program — The Partnership Program provides support services identified in a person-centered plan that are not traditionally covered by county or state funding, and often provided by unpaid family caregivers (typically parents or adult siblings). Services may be temporary, intermittent or ongoing.
