Individual Support Program
What is the Individual Support Program?
Villa Maria provides a range of individual support services in all metropolitan regions including HomeFirst, Support and Choice and individualised support packages which encompass a range of supports such as Futures for Young Adults, Outreach Support and case management.
The program develops a unique and flexible support using brokerage principles to ensure that each package is individualised and tailored to meet the specific needs of the person with the disability and their carer. Emphasis is placed on a person centered approach. The program provides a tailored service working alongside individuals, support networks and any other significant people to achieve identified goals and link into services identified.
What does it provide?
Individual Support Program aims to provide support to individuals and enable them to set and achieve their personal goals, dreams, and aspirations.
The support provided is diverse and includes areas such as:
Personal care
-
Maintaining and developing social networks
-
Building on support networks
-
Community access
-
Learning and maintaining new skills
-
Budgeting
-
Recreation & holidays
-
Cooking & domestic duties
-
Travelling, orientation & mobility training
The amount of support provided will vary depending on personal needs and is negotiated with the individual and their support networks. More flexible services with a wide variety of choices may be required.
If Villa Maria is chosen as a service provider, one of our Coordinators will work with the individual, and their support network, to develop a detailed support plan and assist to coordinate services. This plan will be directed as much as possible by the individual. A support person/s, Case Manager, will then be allocated to assist in putting the plan into action.
