Menu of Services Provided
In-Home Family Support is a licensed service provided in a person’s home and in the community directed toward increasing and maintaining the person’s physical, intellectual, emotional and social functioning. Habilitation is the focus of this program and may be provided not only to the person receiving services but also training the family members to increase their capabilities to care for and maintain the person in their home. Individual program and behavior support plans are developed based on the service plan and 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 offered in the person’s home to provide short-term relief for the primary caregiver of an individual or individuals with special needs. The intent of the program is to increase family well-being, to prevent maltreatment and out of home placement. Services are provided on an hourly, daily or weekend schedule, depending on need and service authorization.
Personal Support services provide supervision and assistance in the person’s home or in the community to achieve increased independence, productivity and inclusion in the community in accordance with outcomes identified in the service plan, but when skill training is determined not to be necessary to attain these outcomes. Personal Support services are non-medical and are not considered habilitative.
