In-Home and Community Support is a direct and individualized service provided in a person’s home or in the home of their natural family home, so they can live more independently with assistance. They may receive support with personal care, home safety, communication, and social skill development. Services can also be provided in community settings to assist people in participating and creating a meaningful life by acquiring, maintaining and improving the skills necessary to live in the community.
Services may also consist of assistance, support and guidance (physical assistance, instruction, prompting, modeling, and reinforcement) in the general areas of self-care, health maintenance, decision making, home management, managing personal resources, communication, mobility and transportation, relationship development and socialization, personal adjustment, participating in community functions and activities and use of community resources. The type and amount of assistance, support and guidance are informed by the assessed need for physical, psychological and emotional assistance established through the assessment and person-centered planning processes. The type and amount of assistance are delivered to enhance the autonomy of the participant, in line with his or her personal preferences and to achieve his or her desired outcomes.
