Personalized support for greater independence and community participation.
Connect-Abilities provides Medicaid Waiver services designed around
each participant’s goals, strengths, needs, preferences, and daily life.
Our team works with participants, families, caregivers, case managers,
and other members of the support team to provide dependable,
participant-centered services in the community.
Services designed around the person, not just the program.
We believe participants should be treated as individuals with goals,
abilities, preferences, relationships, and meaningful roles in their communities.
Individualized Support
Services are shaped around the participant’s approved plan,
personal goals, abilities, preferences, and support needs.
Community Connection
We help participants build skills, routines, relationships,
and confidence in real community settings.
Team Collaboration
We communicate with participants, families, caregivers,
case managers, and other providers to support consistent service delivery.
Support for daily life, independence, and community participation.
Available services depend on the participant’s approved Medicaid Waiver,
individualized support plan, authorization, and service area.
Community-Based Skill Development
Support may focus on building practical skills in real-life settings,
including communication, decision-making, routines, and community navigation.
Independent Living Support
Participants may receive support with skills that promote greater
independence at home and in the community.
Community Participation
Services may help participants explore meaningful activities,
build relationships, access local resources, and increase community involvement.
Goal-Oriented Support
Staff work toward goals identified in the participant’s approved plan
and document progress, barriers, and next steps.
Family and Caregiver Collaboration
When appropriate, we coordinate with families and caregivers
to promote consistency, communication, and participant success.
Ongoing Communication
Our team communicates with the participant’s support system
and case management team regarding service delivery and meaningful changes.
A coordinated, participant-centered process.
The exact process may vary, but Waiver Services typically begin
through the participant’s approved support team and service authorization.
