Narrative

Individual Home Support (IHS) focuses on helping people to live independently in their homes and communities. They can lead lives with choice, dignity, and opportunity. People live in their own independent settings. They have set hours of staff support based on their interests, goals, and support needs.

The goal of IHS is to support people to have more decision making and independence. They work to do the things that interest them. Help can be provided in these areas:

• finance and money
• household chores
• cooking
• shopping
• errands
• community participation
• medical clinical appointments and follow up
• more

Goals are based on personal likes and wants. The final goal is increased independence and full, meaningful access to the community.
