CILA

Community Integrated Living Arrangement Services

ILS provides supervised, supportive living environments addressing the preferences, strengths, abilities, needs and life-span issues of adults with developmental disabilities. Intermediate, 24-hour supervision, or home-based supports may be provided, as needed. A Qualified Intellectual Disability Professional (QIDP) and House Manager oversee each CILA (Community Integrated Living Arrangement). There is a Registered nurse on call 24 hours a day to provide monitoring and follow-up for medical needs.

ILS provides quality customer-driven services to adults with developmental disabilities to help them become as independent as possible. Services are provided in homes, which provide a personalized living environment integrated into the community.

Services are designed in a coordinated manner through a Community Support Team (CST) to assist people with disabilities in achieving and maintaining independent lifestyles. ILS focuses on the uniqueness of each person, what each individual wants for their life, and how people with disabilities can have fully inclusive community lives.
