FAQ

Is it possible to receive SILS while also having waiver services?

Yes, you can still receive SILS if you have waiver services, but it depends on your situation. SILS is not usually funded through waiver programs like CADI, BI, or DD waivers. Instead, it’s typically funded through county services like Rule 185 case management or through county social services directly. If you’re on a waiver, your case manager can help figure out whether SILS is the right fit or if a similar service can be provided through your waiver.

Who is eligible for IHS or group home services?

To be eligible for IHS or our group home you must receive services through one of the following waivers: Brain Injury (BI), Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI), Community Alternative Care (CAC), Developmental Disabilities (DD).

IHS offers three different service options:
