Home Based Services
of Friendship Community
(photo) Sandy lives in her own apartment with the
support of Natasha, her staff member from Friendship Community.
They go grocery shopping together, review her bills, go over her
medications, attend appointments and set goals together.
Not everyone can live independently like
Sandy, however individuals with intellectual disabilities
and their family’s lives can be enhanced with additional support.
Home Based Support Services are provided at the individual’s home and maybe
funded privately or through P/FDS (Person and Family Directed Support waiver
funds).
