Integrated Community Services

Integrated Community Supports (ICS) Program

At TotalCare Services LLC, we offer an Integrated Community Supports (ICS) program designed for adults with disabilities. This program focuses on empowering individuals to live independently within their own homes and communities while receiving the necessary support to achieve their personal goals and maintain independence.

Apartment-Based Support

The ICS program is delivered in an apartment setting, where each client has their own private unit, including a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Support services are available around the clock, up to 24 hours a day, depending on the client’s needs. If required, additional services such as nursing or home care can be coordinated to ensure comprehensive care and support.

At TotalCare Services LLC, we prioritize providing a nurturing, comfortable, and safe environment for our clients. We believe that a stable home is the foundation for well-being, and we work diligently to ensure our apartments offer clean, welcoming spaces where individuals can feel empowered and at ease.

Dedicated Staff and Personalized Support

What sets our program apart is the unwavering support from our TotalCare Services LLC staff. They are committed to helping each client reach their full potential by providing personalized care plans, emotional support, and access to essential resources. Our staff works closely with clients to promote independence, improve quality of life, and facilitate a sense of belonging within their communities.
