Staying Independent at Home Longer
6-Component comprehensive support for older adults on the Elderly Waiver, focusing on your strengths to help you manage your home and life with ease.
“Individual Community Living Supports (ICLS) is a bundled service designed specifically for older adults in Minnesota who are enrolled in the Elderly Waiver (EW) or Alternative Care (AC) programs. ICLS is about more than just 'doing' for you; it's about supporting your ability to manage your own home and stay connected to your community. This service includes six key components: active cognitive support, adaptive support, help with daily living activities, household management, health and wellness monitoring, and community engagement. At Bright Vision, we focus on what you can do, and provide the gentle reminders, cueing, and intermittent help you need to remain the leader of your own life in the home you love.”
