Narrative

Individual Home Support (IHS) focuses on helping people to live independently in their homes and communities. They can lead lives with choice, dignity, and opportunity. People live in their own independent settings. They have set hours of staff support based on their interests, goals, and support needs.

The goal of IHS is to support people to have increased decision making, independence. They control to do the things that interest them. Help can be provided in an array of areas:

  • finance and money
  • household chores
  • cooking
  • shopping
  • errands
  • community participation
  • medical clinical appointments and follow up

Goals are based on personal preferences. The final objective is increased independence and full, meaningful access to the community.
