LANCASTER, PA — OneWell announced it will soon be offering Connecticut Intellectual and Developmental Disability Services. Services will include Blended Supports, Companion Supports, Individualized Day, Respite, and Individualized Home Supports.
OneWell will be working with many DDS waivers including, Comprehensive Supports (COMP) Waiver, Individual and Family Supports (IFS) Waiver, and Employment and Day Supports Waiver. The COMP Waiver aids people who live in licensed facilities or in their own homes, and who need a wide range of services. With the help of this waiver, individuals with more complex needs can now select a customized package of services that will enable them to continue living in their own or their family’s home. The IFS Waiver’s objectives are to offer children and adults who qualify for DDS services flexible and essential support and services. Through tailored and unlicensed service alternatives like adult companionship, respite care, and individualized day supports IFS Waiver assists and motivates participants. The Employment and Day Supports Waiver is intended to assist people who live independently and with a strong natural support network. Children under the age of 21 and adults over the age of 18 who need career development, supported employment, community-based day supports, respite care, and/or behavioral support services, to stay in their own/family home, are included in this category.
