Independent Living Services
Independent Living Services (ILS) provides up to 40 hours per month of living-skills training and support with the focus on the individual leading the most self-managed life possible in the least restrictive environment. The number of living-skills training hours are determined by an individual's assessed need and their personal choice.

Over time, an individual's need or desire for services may increase or decrease. Services can be adjusted to provide a lesser frequency of training, or conversely, a transition to Supported Living Services can be considered for increased support and aging in place.
