​

What care support is provided?

Primary caregiving, such as Independent Living Services (ILS) and Supported Living Services (SLS), is arranged by families through the Regional Center, as in other private housing arrangements. Additional support, such as Day Programs, must also be coordinated independently by families or residents. Programs are available through the Regional Center for daily activities and skill-building.

​​

​

How are ILS/SLS services arranged?
Families work directly with the Regional Center to secure ILS/SLS services from independent agencies, tailored to their loved ones’ needs. 

​​

​

What happens if my loved one’s care needs change?
The flexible care model allows families to adjust ILS/SLS services through the Regional Center as needs evolve.
