Individualized Home Supports built around one person at a time
No two households need the same help in the same order. Individualized Home Supports start from what this person's day actually looks like and what they want it to look like.
Individualized means individualized
The phrase gets used loosely. In practice it should mean that two people receiving the same named service have visibly different plans, because their goals, routines, housing, family involvement, and capabilities are different.
ALLCARE LLC builds Individualized Home Supports around the specific person: what they can do independently, what they want to be able to do, where they need a hand, and what time of day everything actually happens. A plan that ignores the fact that someone is not functional before 10 a.m. is not individualized, it is just paperwork.
Support that adjusts as things change
Needs move in both directions. Someone recovering from a hospitalization may need substantial support that should be reduced as they regain function. Someone with a progressive condition will need more over time. Either way, a plan written once and never revisited stops fitting.
We review plans on a schedule and whenever something meaningful changes: a new diagnosis, a fall, a move, a change in who else is helping. Where support can be scaled back because the person has gained ground, we say so.
What IHS can include
The specific mix is set in the care plan and coordinated with the case manager when there is one.
- ✓ Assistance with daily living activities as outlined in the plan
- ✓ Support with routines: getting up, meals, medications, winding down
- ✓ Cueing and prompting rather than doing, where that builds independence
- ✓ Help managing appointments, mail, and household logistics
- ✓ Support with community access and errands
- ✓ Coordination with family, case managers, and other providers
- ✓ Documentation of progress toward the person's stated goals
Who this service is for
- ✓ Adults who need daily or near-daily support to stay in their own home
- ✓ People transitioning home from a hospital or facility stay
- ✓ Adults with disabilities living independently or with family
- ✓ Anyone whose needs vary enough that a fixed package does not fit
