In-Home Support Services

• Individualized Home Support (HIS) with Training: This service is tailored to provide in-home care in Minnesota that fosters independence and enhances daily living skills. IHS, with training, includes support while integrating skill development and educational components. This additional training is designed to enhance independence, teaching clients new skills for managing their daily lives. While both services aim to support individuals in their homes, the key difference lies in the element of skill and educational training, with one focusing on immediate assistance and the other on long-term skill development.
• IHS without Training: Personalized care for those needing assistance with daily activities, focusing on safety and comfort. The program mainly focuses on providing essential, non-medical assistance for daily living. This includes aid with personal care, meal preparation, and housekeeping, catering to those who need support in maintaining a comfortable and safe home environment.
• Individualized Home Support (HIS) with Family Training: Provides support and training to both the person with a disability and their family. The training is designed to help the family learn how to support the person in their home and community.
