Individualized Home Supports

 

What is Individualized Home Supports?

The Individualized Home Supports (IHS) Program was developed to provide quality, one-on-one life skills training in the home and community. IHS provides extra support where needed to help the person served maintain their home, build healthy social relationships, and continue living independently. The program was designed to coach, train, and support individuals served in moving forward in life and reaching their full potential.

Our IHS program focuses on each individual's spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, and social well-being, and our trained staff assists each person in developing a care plan with personal goals (“outcomes”) in these five key areas of growth.

Who do we serve?

The IHS Program is available to adults (ages 18 and older) who have been diagnosed with a physical or neurological disability, brain injury, and/or mental illness. An initial interview and assessment will help determine what supports may be provided by the program.
