Independent Living In-Home Care

The Independent Living Center began operating its In-Home Care program in 2006 to offer additional options to consumers needing attendant care.  Services available include personal care, advanced personal care, respite care, homemaker services, and authorized nurse visits.  The Center's dedicated staff works to meet the individual needs of their clients in Jasper, Newton, McDonald and Barry counties while coordinating value-added services like adaptive equipment, home modifications and advocacy.  Recently, TILC began offering attendant care for youth and children through the Bureau of Special Health Care Needs.
