Overview
The dreams and desires of the people we support are the focal points of all we do and we adapt our approaches and techniques accordingly. We encourage people to be involved in determining when and how their support is provided.
Community Supported Living Services
The foundation of our Community Supported Living 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 gifts and potential opportunities to share these gifts with others and the community.
Mental Health Services
Innovative Services offers community-based mental health services for people of all ages. Services are person-centered and recovery-focused, achieving the optimum level of independence and choice for all people and their families. Mental health services are available 365 days a year. They include minimal support from once-a-week services to intensive 24-hour interventions in the person’s home, in the community, or at an Innovative Services program site.
Residential Services
The residential services offered by Innovative Services consist of Adult Family Homes (AFH) and Community-Based Residential Facilities (CBRF); both types of residential homes are licensed by the state of Wisconsin and held to the highest of standards. All residential services operated by Innovative Services are houses within residential neighborhoods in the community and typically are home to four people in an AFH and five to eight people in a CBRF. The people living in residential services programs are non-related adults requiring more individual attention than supported living settings but fewer supports than a nursing home.
Rural Community Concept
The Rural Community Concept (RCC) is a transitional residential community setting situated on 80 acres of farm and forested land in North Central Wisconsin. The community is a series of two-bedroom duplexes available for individuals to rent, a greenhouse, and a workshop barn. This program focuses on a holistic approach to community living by offering rental housing, vocational training opportunities, and social interaction. Our goal is to increase, maintain, and improve the functional capabilities of our clients so they can transition to another setting or service type with greater independence.
