Home and Community Support services assist adults with developmental disabilities who need support managing daily responsibilities while remaining active in their homes and communities. Families often pursue this service when an individual requires assistance with everyday tasks, community access, or independent living skills but does not need institutional care. The service focuses on helping individuals maintain daily routines and participate more fully in their preferred environments.
How It Works:
Support services are generally arranged based on identified needs and goals:
- An evaluation is conducted to determine the individual’s daily living support requirements.
- A person-centered plan outlines the areas where assistance may be needed.
- Service schedules are developed around the individual’s routines, preferences, and authorized support hours.
- Staff coordinates with individuals, families, guardians, or support teams as appropriate.
- Services are reviewed and adjusted when needs, circumstances, or goals change.
What to Expect
Support may be provided during everyday activities at home and within the community, depending on the individual’s goals and level of independence. Individuals are encouraged to remain actively involved in tasks and decision-making rather than having responsibilities completed entirely on their behalf. Services are intended to support daily functioning while promoting the development and maintenance of practical life skills.
