Individualized Home Supports with Training (IHS w/ Training)
This service level is provided to adults when they need support and training in at least one of the community living service categories.
Community living service categories include:
- Community participation
- Health
- Safety
- Wellness
- Household management
- Adaptive skills.
Service can be provided in the person’s own home, family’s home, or in the community. Service includes both support and training. Training for individualized home supports means a person receives direct training from a staff member on community living skills identified in the person’s assessment. Training includes skill-building to acquire, retain, and improve the person’s experience living in the community.
24-hour emergency assistance is on-call counseling and problem solving and/or immediate response for assistance at a person’s home due to a health or personal emergency.
