What are Individualized Home Supports/Personal Support and Respite Services?
Individualized Home Supports/Personal Support is a one-to-one service that provides opportunities for people to increase their independence and connect with their community. Support can include assistance with daily living activities such as eating breakfast or brushing teeth to participating in local events and building relationships with friends. Respite complements Personal Support and provides short-term relief for a person’s primary caregiver.
Am I eligible to receive these services?
This service requires that a person has a waiver for either Developmental Disabilities (DD), Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI), Brain Injury (BI), or Community Alternative Care (CAC).
How does it work?
We know that the process for self-directing your support can be confusing – that’s why Lifeworks put an overview together. Read all about the steps to receiving Individualized Home Supports/Personal Support and Respite Services.
