For Adults & Children

Adults In-home supports

​We offer services to individuals who live in their own home or with family or friends.

  • ​Services offered have specific eligibility standards and are accessed through the local Community Developmental Disabilities Program (CDDP) or Support Services Brokerage​.
    An Individual Support Plan is established with each adult to identify supports provided based upon their health and safety needs, interests, choices and goals. Each plan uses a person-centered planning process.
  • It’s also important to understand and learn about supported decision-making as a part of this process and how it allows a person with a disability to make choices about their life.
  • ​Supports are provided through a CDDPor Support Services Brokerage to eligible adults living in their own or their ​family’s home to help them remain in their home and be engaged in the community.
