How This Service Works
Services may include skill building, personal assistance, household routines, community access, health and safety support, communication, and other person-centered goals identified in the plan.
Staff should work with the individual rather than simply doing everything for them. When appropriate, support focuses on teaching, prompting, practicing, and gradually increasing independence.
The exact activities, staffing level, schedule, and documentation requirements depend on the applicable program and authorized plan.
