Assessment

The assessment period for Independent Living Services is much shorter than that for Supported Living Services. The client will work with Thrive staff to develop the plan for the skills they need to live a productive life in their home and community. Our ILS instructors will reassess periodically to adjust benchmarks of progress, individual needs and goal setting.

• Cooking, including menu planning, grocery shopping and meal preparation

Individualized Service Plan (ISP)

Each client will have an ISP prepared to direct the client and their ILS Instructor so that each session will be the most productive. Thrive’s ILS instructors track progress and record any observed barriers to meeting ISP goals. The ISP guides the process for the year and keeping the client, Regional Center Case Management and the ILS Instructor on target.
