SERVICES

hOME SUPPORTS

Through Residential Group Homes, we provide clients with safe homes with 24/7 staff who assist them. We support many individuals who are “aging in place” by providing increasing amounts of hospice care, allowing our clients to remain with their group home family.

Our Community (Independent) Living option allows individuals to live in their own homes or apartments. While staff provide in-home and community support as needed to enhance daily living skills, health, and safety.

Our Shared Living program is designed to connect adults with disabilities to caring family and community members, who open their homes and lives to our clients. This allows an individual to live in a family-style environment and become a member of the household, the family, and the community.

CASE MANAGEMENT

Adult Case Management: IA’s comprehensive case management service for adults start with Person Center Plans based on individual strengths, needs, and desires. Our case managers work together with clients, their families, and a wide range of community resources that can maximize success. IA will coordinate necessary client services, advocate, refer, and monitor services through home, program, and community visits.

Children’s Case Management: Our certified case managers work with families in their homes for comfortable, convenient, and sensitive service coordination. IA offers caring and compassionate support to youth, from birth to age 20, through family focused treatment planning based on strengths, needs, and preferences of our clients. Case managers also work with youth in the transition from children’s services to adult services.

Community Inclusion

Through CommunityVision, we support people with disabilities who live inclusively in their chosen community. Our day support programs and activities are tailored to the goals and abilities of the individuals served and may take place at our recreational facility or in the community. Activities could include volunteering with the Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust or Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program, attending a weekly bowling league, participating in Special Olympics, enjoying community outings with friends, healthy living activities, and much more. Community Supports also offers programs focused on employment-related skills based on the interests and abilities of our clients.
