Home Based Support

Home Based Support Self Direction Assistance offers individuals with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to continue to live with their family or to live semi-independently, with provided supports. Self Direction Assistants can assist the individual, or the individual’s family or representative, to arrange for, direct and manage services.

This can include:

• Assistance with creating, maintaining and monitoring each client’s annual budget
• Facilitating services and budget with day program, behavior services and ISC to be as effective as possible
• Assistance with DRS referrals
• Assistance with completing annual required documents
• Assistance with applying for emergency funding or one-time funding items such as adaptive equipment, home/vehicle modifications or assistive technology

This program is funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services. Applications for funding are through your local Pre-Admission Screening Agency. Once individuals have been approved for Home Based funding, they can contact Lambs Farm about providing Self Direction Assistance.
