Other support options

Ask Guardian about IHS without training, adult companion services, 24-hour emergency assistance and semi-independent living skills. Discuss the right option with your case manager before arranging services.

The website and general contact form are not emergency-response services.

Which service is the right fit?

Your case manager or lead agency can help determine eligibility, service authorization and the right type of support. A license listing does not guarantee immediate openings.

Understanding the options

Support, training or family training?

Each option has a different emphasis. Use this overview to prepare questions for your case manager; the right service depends on assessed needs and authorization.

Support

Help using everyday skills

IHS without training emphasizes support with familiar activities. Discuss whether reminders, guidance or assistance are the main need.

Training

Practice toward a goal

IHS with training emphasizes learning and practicing skills. Ask what purposeful practice would look like and how progress could be recognized.

Family

A shared approach at home

IHS with family training brings the person and/or family into the learning process. Discuss which strategies could help daily life in the family home.

Questions that help clarify a service

  • What would the person like to do, maintain or improve?
  • Is the main need support with a task, practice of a skill, or family training?
  • How would the service fit alongside other authorized supports?
  • What would a useful first goal look like?

Share those questions with your case manager and Guardian before deciding on next steps.
