Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are designed to reduce the risk of out-of-home placements for children and youth through the addition of home / community supports that increase the functional levels of the youth and family. These intensive services require participation in Children’s Health Home Care Management Services and Level of Care determination prior to enrollment.
About this Program
Hillside’s Home and Community-Based Services make a number of supports available to eligible children, youth and families based on family preference and Level of Care determinations. These include:
- Caregiver / Family Supports and Services enhance a child’s ability to function as part of a caregiver / family unit and enhance the ability of the caregiver / family to provide care in the home and community.
- Planned Respite and Crisis Respite provide structured short-term relief for families / caregivers that better enables them to support the child’s functional, mental health/substance-use disorder, developmental, and/or health care issues. Respite supports can be provided based on anticipated or planned needs, or in consideration of an unexpected need during a crisis situation.
- Community Self-Advocacy Training and Supports improve a child’s ability to participate in and gain from the community experience, while preparing their environment to respond appropriately to their disability and/or healthcare issues. Community training and support assists the child, family/caregiver and other partners in understanding and addressing the needs of the child, and aids their gradual integration into age-appropriate activities.
