Community
Living Services
We
assist people in small,
individualized, relatively permanent living settings, Emphasis is on
giving each individual only as much service as is necessary to
maintain as independent a lifestyle as possible. Teaching and
supports are directed toward achieving individual preferences in
skills such as financial management, health and safety, personal
growth, community living and communication. Environments can range
from limited supervision/support to full-time assistance.
Supported
Living
The
individual lives in his or her own
home or apartment or with roommates of the person’s choosing.
Staff is scheduled most, if not all days of the week for periods of an
hour up to several hours per day, as funding allows and as decided by
the person and his or her team. Supported living does not typically
include staff providing overnight supervision.
Assisted
Community Living
The
individual receives funding to
enable 24 hour supervision/support when the individual is not in day
services. The person lives in his or her own home or apartment or in
an agency managed residence. The individual may have from 1-2
roommates. Generally the needs and supports are more intensive in
Assisted
Community Living.
Adult/Children’s
Family Home

live with a family
providing significant supervision and support, usually on a 24 hour
basis. MNIS contracts with the home provider after he or she has been
certified by State Health and Human Services. The environments may
be designed for one or several persons with developmental
disabilities.
