Individual Community Living Supports (ICLS)
Supporting Independence. Promoting Dignity. Strengthening Everyday Living.
At AMANI HEALTH CARE SERVICES LLC, we believe every person deserves the opportunity to live as independently as possible in their own home and community.
Individual Community Living Supports (ICLS) is a Minnesota service designed to provide scheduled assistance and support to eligible individuals who may need reminders, cues, intermittent or moderate supervision, or physical assistance to help them remain safely and successfully in their own homes.
Our approach is person-centered and individualized. We work with each person, their support team, and, when appropriate, their family or representative to provide support based on their needs, preferences, routines, and goals.
What Are Individual Community Living Supports (ICLS)?
