Integrated Community Support

Integrated Community Supports (ICS) are services that provide support and training to adults age 18 and older who live in an ICS setting, such as an apartment in a multi-family housing building. These services can be provided up to 24 hours per day in the person's living unit or in the community, and include cueing, skill maintenance, guidance, instruction, and assistance with activities of daily living and coordination of community living activities.

 

Training in community living service categories is also provided to help the person acquire, retain, and improve their ability to live in the community. ICS is available to adults who live in an approved ICS setting and are enrolled in certain Medicaid waivers, including the Brain Injury and Community Access for Disability Inclusion waivers. As of 2023, ICS will also be available to adults on the Community Alternative Care and Developmental Disabilities waivers.

 

Covered services under ICS include training and support in at least one of the following categories: community participation, health, safety, and wellness, household management, and adaptive skills. These services may include support with transportation needs, self-care activities, health care appointments, household care and maintenance, socialization and leisure activities, budgeting and money management, and more.
