COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Strengthening communities through the inclusion of all people to the highest degree possible is a core value of Living Innovations.
Community Support is:
- Community-based and not dependent on a facility.
- Takes advantage of local educational, social and employment opportunities.
- Facilitates the development of “natural supports” – relationships with people other than paid staff.
- Is individualized to the needs, desires, and interests of participants.
- Is focused on enhancing health, safety and independent living skills.
The highest priority for most people in Community Support is to get a job. We assist participants in developing job skills and in searching for and obtaining a job when they are ready.
JOB COACHING
For individuals with a specific focus on employment, in addition to the services that are ordinarily provided through Community Support, Supported Employment can provide additional assistance, including:
- Access to Vocational Rehabilitation (VocRehab) services
- Planning to advance career initiatives
- Job development
- Job coaching
CASE MANAGEMENT
Navigating the “system” and choosing the best options for your family can be stressful and confusing. Living Innovations’ Case Managers help by providing coordination and oversight during the planning process and delivery of services, including:
- Facilitating communication between members of the support team (consumer, guardian, family, service providers and others as appropriate)
- Working with the support team to develop a person-centered plan
- Linkage to appropriate agencies, community resources and informal supports
- Monitoring the individual’s progress toward the achievement of objectives specified in the plan
- Periodic review of the individual’s status and needs and implementing changes to the plan as needed
IN-HOME SUPPORT FOR ADULTS
We can provide assistance on an as-needed basis: as few as 2 hours per week or as much as round the clock. This service is highly individualized based on the needs of the recipient. Examples of support include:
- Skill-building in self-help and self-care
- Assistance and training with household activities and chores such as cooking, cleaning and personal care
- Transportation
- Accessing the community and participation in Community Support activities
CHILDREN'S SERVICES
Children get the help they need when the whole team works together. We will work with you and your child, the school system, case manager and all other team members to develop a plan that delivers results.
We provide support at home and in the community for children to gain skills that will help them with everyday needs, such as:
- Being responsible for their hygiene and money
- Getting along with others by learning how to express their needs and wants more effectively
Each child is unique, so each support plan is unique – the goal is increased independence.
PRIVATE PAY
For those who do not qualify for Medicaid funding, all of our services are available on a private pay basis. We will work with you to set up the perfect plan for a loved one in need of support.
