ILA Service Coordination helps
individuals and their families navigate the health care system and
obtain the best services available.
Design
The participant and family choose an ILA service
coordinator to assist in developing a life plan or service plan
focused on helping the individual achieve valued outcomes. The service
coordinator ensures that these outcomes are grounded in ILA’s
key principles: individualization, independence, integration and
productivity.
The service coordinator then ensures that the individual
secures needed supports including:
- medical, social, educational, financial, and residential services
- day programming
- community access
Staff
Service Coordinators are professionals who help developmentally
disabled individuals develop, plan, implement, and monitor their
own plan of services and supports. Service Coordinators are specially
trained to know all services available to individuals and their
families and to enable them to access those services.
Program
Service Coordination is free of charge to individual consumers and
their families. Individuals must have a valid Medicaid Card to receive
Service Coordination. ILA’s Medicaid Service
Coordination ensures that all services are obtained in efficiently
and professionally.
ILA’s Service Coordinators
assist individuals in gaining access to needed residential, day
program, medical, social, educational, and other services designed
to enable them to function more independently and to cope with the
demands of their environment. Such services include:
- intake assessment and screening
- linkage and referral to needed programs
- follow-up and monitoring
- individual program plan development and documentation
- coordination of comprehensive team assessments
- respite and home care coordination
- participant advocacy and crisis intervention
- initiation or reinstatement of Medicaid, Social Security, food
