So what works keeps working after we leave
Skill building shared with the whole household, so the strategies that help a person thrive become part of everyday family life.
What this service is
The people who spend the most time with someone are usually their family. Individualized home supports with family training brings them into the process: staff work with the person and their family together, teaching the routines, communication approaches, and supports that help, and coaching the family to carry them on.
The result is a home where everyone is working from the same page. Progress doesn’t depend on a staff member being in the room.

Things families and case managers ask us
Who counts as “family”?
Anyone in the person’s support circle: parents, spouses, siblings, grandparents, and other unpaid caregivers who live with or regularly support the person.
Does the person receiving services have to be present?
Sessions usually include the person, since the point is practicing together. Some sessions may focus on the family alone when that’s what the plan calls for.
Can this be combined with other services?
Yes. Family training often runs alongside home supports with training, respite care, or night supervision, all coordinated under one plan.
