Accord™ offers Community Support Services, where individuals can be assisted with Semi-Independent Living Services (SILS) and Individualized Home Supports with Training (IHS w/ Training).  

Semi-Independent Living Services (SILS)

The goal of SILS is to support people in ways that enable them to achieve personally desired outcomes and lead self-directed lives. SILS include training and assistance to:

• Engage in activities that make it possible for an adult with developmental disabilities or related condition(s) to live in the community
• Exercise social, recreation and transportation skills, including appropriate social behavior
• Learn and exercise the rights and responsibilities of community living
• Maintain personal appearance and hygiene
• Manage money, prepare meals and shop
• Obtain and maintain a home
• Perform first aid and obtain assistance in an emergency
• Self-administer medication
• Use the phone and other utilities

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.
