Individualized Home Supports (IHS) refer to a category of services that provide assistance to individuals with disabilities in their own homes or community settings, helping them lead more independent and self-directed lives. These services are often offered through Medicaid waiver programs, such as the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers.

Types of IHS Services:

IHS is divided into three categories based on the setting and staffing:

  1. Without Training – Focuses on direct support without skill development.

  2. With Training – Includes teaching and skill-building for independence.

  3. With Family Training – Educates family members to support the individual more effectively.

Eligibility and Funding:

  • Generally funded through state Medicaid waivers.

  • Eligibility is based on disability status and assessed needs.

  • Requires a person-centered planning process.
