ICS SERVICE
At Comfort Therapeutic Services, we’re passionate about helping people live more independently. That’s why we offer Integrated Community Supports (ICS), a 245D-licensed service designed for adults on BI, CAC, CADI, and DD waivers who want to live in a supportive apartment setting. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach—our team takes the time to understand each person’s needs, providing hands-on support in community participation, health and wellness, household management, and adaptive skills. With compassion and expertise, we help individuals build confidence, gain independence, and create a life they’re proud of.
Integrated community supports (ICS)
ICS is a 245D-licensed service that helps fill identified service gaps for adults on the Brain Injury (BI), Community Alternative Care (CAC), Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI) and Developmental Disabilities (DD) waivers. ICS supports people who choose to live and receive services in a supported apartment setting. An ICS setting is a multi-family housing building (e.g., apartment building) in which the provider has direct or indirect control over the person’s living unit. This means the provider owns, operates or leases the living units in the setting.
ICS provides supports and training in four community living service categories:
• Community participation
• Health, safety and wellness
• Household management
• Adaptive skills.
