Residential Services include:

  Enhancement of independent leisure skills      

  Development of daily living skills

  Participation in community clubs/ organization

ISN's Residential program is divided into four models.  Each of the following models provides for the individual with at least one support person.  They prepare meals together, eat together, and participate in holidays, vacations and all "family" activities together.  Each model allows for the support of the individual emotionally and teaches him/her the skills necessary to live a life based on quality and independence.  In all residential settings, normalcy and independence are the key.  We teach the individual to be as independent as possible.  We encourage the consumer to learn and grow with the level of assistance required; we strive to meet our consumer's specific needs.  No two people are the same, as such each consumer is treated with respect, compassion, and understanding.  Living life like anyone without disabilities is important.

Individual Service Option  Individualized residential sites that place a consumer with a caring family, provider or roommate.  These programs are either developed to place a consumer in the home and family of a provider(s), or place the provider/roommate in the home of a consumer.  Some consumers have apartments that they maintain and providers/roommates move into the consumer's home.  Others may be part of the "Home of Your Own" program.  This means that the individual received assistance to purchase his/her own home.  Those who own their own home are assisted with developing skills needed to maintain a home, skills to budget finances and community integration/ leisure activities.

Peer Roommates  Individuals who have a close relationship with a peer may choose to have that peer live with them in an adult foster care setting.  Similar to the ISO, this model is developed to provide individuals with a natural roommate situation.  These two individuals would work together with the assistance of a provider family or single provider to develop skills that will be needed for greater independence.

Individual Service Options for Children  We serve children who are in the custody of the Division of Children, Youth and Families that may be served using the above mentioned models.

Community Residences  The community residence can serve up to three individuals.  Staff assist consumers with their household chores and set a natural environment conducive to learning and maintaining the knowledge and skills that will prepare them to eventually move to a more individualized placement.  ISN will provide services using this model in specific circumstances.
