“Today you are you, that is truer than true.
There is no one alive who is youer than you.”
Dr. Seuss, “Happy Birthday to You!”
Person-Centered Plans
Let’s gather those that you trust and support you. Together you identify what is most important to you and for you. We help you by asking questions to create a plan alongside your circle of support. No one knows you better than you.
You are your subject-matter expert!
Holistic approach
Let’s look at all of the things, the people, the places, that matter to you and how you want to access them. It’s not just about health care or day programs, let’s talk about your vision. Your friends, hobbies, work, school, what makes you happy? What’s missing?
Inclusive programs for all lifestyle choices
Inclusive means no limits. It means belonging. Finding and being in a group you want to belong to. Engaging with like-minded people. Is there a hobby? Is there a spiritual need? Tell us how to support you. We will help you create your community.

Person-Centered Planning (PCP)
PCP is for all ages. At a Person-Centered Planning gathering, people who love and care about the person work together to design a vision for the individual’s life.

We are here to help you plan for your best future!

The IF assists the individual with making informed decisions regarding their individual budget. Helps locating, accessing and coordinating services and supports consistent with the participant’s PCP.
