Individualized Home Supports (IHS)
Real Support. Real Skills. Real Independence.
Our Individualized Home Supports (IHS) services are designed to meet people where they are in life. Whether someone needs daily support, help learning new skills, or guidance within the family home, we provide care that is personal, respectful, and built around each individual’s goals.
All services are delivered based on the person’s waiver plan and support needs, ensuring they receive the right level of care while maintaining dignity and independence.
IHS Without Training
Steady Support for Everyday Living
Some individuals don’t need teaching—they need consistent, reliable support throughout their day. This service focuses on helping individuals stay safe, comfortable, and supported at home and in the community.
We provide support with:
- Daily routines and structure
- Meals and basic household tasks
- Reminders and supervision
- Getting to appointments and community activities
- Maintaining a safe living environment
What makes this different:
We’re not here to change routines—we’re here to support them in a way that feels natural and comfortable for the individual.
IHS With Training
Learning Skills That Build Confidence
For individuals who want to grow their independence, this service focuses on teaching practical life skills in a supportive and encouraging way.

We focus on skills like:
- Cooking and managing meals
- Cleaning and organizing a home
- Handling money and budgeting

Our approach:
We don’t rush the process. We guide, encourage, and celebrate progress—because small steps lead to lasting independence.
