Community Supported Living

The foundation of our Community Supported Living (CSL) programs begins with the evaluation of an individual’s capabilities and desires. From that information, Innovative Services builds a specific Individual Support Plan (ISP) that ensures the individual’s desired outcomes are realized with a primary focus on achieving maximum independence. Through inquiry and asking questions that focus on strengths, capacities, and gifts, we help people see their potential and opportunities to share these gifts with others and the community.

• Fostering Choice and Embracing the Dignity of Risk - All our clients live in their own homes within our local communities. Clients are encouraged to make their own choices. Our role is to educate and provide options. We support client choice and assist in working together to realize their full potential.

• Outcome Based, Not Time Based - We don’t live our lives on a rigid schedule, and we don’t expect our clients to either. We want our clients to enjoy their independence, so we leave once we’ve helped them with the assistance needed that day. Likewise, if something comes up and a client needs support after we leave, we will go back. The goal is to keep supports flexible and based on what works for each person.

• Side-by-Side Assistance - We view ourselves as facilitators of independence rather than caregivers. We want to work ourselves out of a job, and the best way to do that is to maximize the independence of our clients.

• Community Connecting - This supports our clients by building lasting relationships within their community, so they expand their natural support base.

• Assistive Technology - Technology empowers independence for our clients who are living with a disability or aging in place. Assistive technology solutions give individuals the freedom they are capable of and the support they need.
