CLICK HERE to visit the Minnesota Department of Human Services website for a more detailed breakdown of individual community living supports (ICLS). The information on this page was taken directly from the Minnesota DHS website.
ICLS covers assistance and support for eligible people age 65 and older enrolled in the Alternative Care (AC) program or the Elderly Waiver (EW). It includes the following service components:
The case manager/care coordinator must complete ICLS Planning Form, DHS-3751 to provide guidance and instruction to the ICLS provider about the needs of the person for each applicable service component. People receiving ICLS services must receive assistance and/or support in a minimum of two of the six ICLS service components.
Active Cognitive Support - This component of ICLS includes supports to help the person with cognitive challenges and issues that are important to them.
Adaptive Support Service - This component of ICLS includes supports to help the person adopt ways to meet their needs. The supports encourage self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on human assistance.
ADLS - This component of ICLS includes supports to help the person with ADLs.
Note: ICLS is not an appropriate service to meet a person’s need for constant supervision or physical assistance with ADLs throughout the task, except for bathing. Personal care assistance (PCA) is the service designed to meet this level of need for ADL assistance.
Household Management - This component of ICLS includes supports to help the person manage their home.
Healty, Safety & Wellness - This component of ICLS includes supports to help the person maintain their overall well-being.
Community Engagement - This component of ICLS includes supports to help the person have meaningful integration and participation in their community.
