Partnership Program

Fraser® Home & Community Supports

The Fraser Partnership Program begins with the collaborative development of a comprehensive person-centered plan. This process is guided by a Fraser professional with the goal of capturing what is important to a person receiving services in order to maintain or improve his/her quality of life. (See Person-Centered Planning fact sheet for details).

The Partnership Program provides support services identified in the plan that are not traditionally covered by county or state funding and often provided by unpaid family caregivers (typically parents or adult siblings). Examples include: helping a person find a place to go for holidays or get a haircut at a preferred salon and making daily check-in calls. Families may enroll their loved one in the program for a variety of reasons such as an extended vacation, caregiver health limitations, or long-term support as they are no longer able to provide it.

The Fraser Partnership Program does not replace the responsibility of the guardian or legal representative for major medical, service or financial decisions. Fraser provides referrals to community agencies for guardianship/conservatorship options as well as long-term financial planning (such as trusts) and legal matters. The program is not intended to duplicate services which are publicly funded or provided by volunteer organizations. Fraser staff make a best faith effort to access community programs and refer to county or state services prior to utilizing private funding. The person-centered plan is reviewed annually and a service contract identifies responsibilities being delegated to Fraser. A program manager or director approves each service contract to ensure that all publicly funded programs have been considered.

This program is offered through the Fraser Home & Community Supports division which assists people with maintaining physical and behavioral health, family well-being, increasing independent living skills and participating in the community through personal care assistance, contracted and flexible case management, respite care, personal and in-home family support.
