In Home Support 

     We offer an In-Home Support program for children in York and Cumberland Counties.

Services are available to children aged 3-21 who have a diagnosis of Mental Retardation or Autism. In order to be eligible for services, the child must be eligible for MaineCare.

Referrals to our agency are typically made through the child’s case manager, but may also be made by the parent of the child. These referrals may be made by contacting us at our Central office and asking for the In-Home Support Department.

Once a referral is made, the family will be contacted by our agency when we are able to provide staffing. An initial meeting will be scheduled, at which time; an assessment of the child’s needs will be conducted. This assessment will help determine the amount of hours that the child will be eligible to receive In-Home Support Services. After the assessment is complete, a planning meeting will be conducted to ascertain the goals and objectives the child and staff will be working on during the scheduled hours of service.

The purpose of the individual treatment plan is to assist the child in attaining new skills in the areas of behavior management, independent living skills, and social skills. Progress towards these goals is documented daily and compiled monthly. The Team re-convenes to review this information on a quarterly and semi-annual basis, and re-work the entire plan each year.
