HCAR's SUPPORTED LIVING SERVICES are designed to meet each consumer's unique
needs and desires. Through an in-depth assessment, individual plans are
developed that support and maintain more community-based, self-determined
lives. The support plans vary widely depending on the abilities of the
individual, but always include encouragement and limited training. Areas
commonly focused upon being community housing, emotional and social
development, nutrition and health awareness, medical appointments and accessing
a variety of community resources.
INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS/ONGOING SUPPORT (OGS) provides support services to
people with developmental disabilities who are transitional or already living
in a home of their own. Consumer services are designed to meet the support
needs of the individual. Through this service, HCAR provides assistance with
handling mail, managing financial affairs, securing appropriate housing,
managing medical treatment and medication, household maintenance and
nutritional needs.
