Residential Services

The residential services offered by Innovative Services include 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 standards.  All the residential AFH and CBRF homes operated by Innovative Services are houses within residential neighborhoods in the community and typically are home to 4 people in an AFH and 5 to 8 people in a CBRF.

When helping individuals and their families select the most appropriate residential supports, a person’s interests, personality, and abilities are all taken into account when identifying outcomes and the resources required to meet those outcomes. These considerations ensure a person selects a home to live with roommates who share similar needs, interests, and desired outcomes.

Residential services programs include on-site, awake staff 24 hours a day. Supports in these programs can include assistance with personal grooming, meals, housekeeping, laundry, medication monitoring, transportation, nursing care, and other supports as needed. Each person can access the supports he or she needs and gives direction to staff on how he or she would prefer the supports to be provided, such as deciding when to bathe or participating in planning meals.

- Services offered -

• Care and Supervision — We provide all necessary care and supervision needs for a variety of target groups including adults with disabilities or elderly adults wishing to age in place.

• Assistance with Activities of Daily Living — We support individuals of varying levels of abilities from those living away from family for the first time looking to learn how to take care of themselves to those who are hoping to age in place within the communities they know and love.

• Personal Cares — We support personal care tasks for each individual from coaching and prompting to physical hands-on support depending on the needs of each individual.

• Medical Support — We oversee medical supports for individuals on an as-needed basis. This may include medication oversight, medical appointment assistance, and any other medical needs an individual may have.

• Transportation — We provided routine, regular transportation opportunities for individuals to attend work, access their community, or get to and from appointments as needed. This can be in the form of full transportation or assistance in accessing local transportation opportunities such as bus or cab systems.

• Housekeeping — We maintain 4-, 5-, and 8-bed homes for individuals to reside in and focus on their needs rather than the upkeep of the space, both indoor and outdoor.

• Community Connecting — We believe in the right of each individual to access and participate in their community to their comfort level. We prioritize community connections for our residents by encouraging participation in work and local events they enjoy.

• Enrichment Activities — We don’t think the only place to connect and have fun is outside the facility. We make an effort to provide enrichment activities not only within our facilities but across our service area to allow people a place to grow, learn, have fun, and meet others being served and supported in a similar setting.
