CLA is excited to announce NEW services available November, 2017:
- Support Broker Services. If you need assistance planning, securing and directing self-directed supports, then CLA Support Broker services might be right for you. Support Broker services are similar in many ways to Service Coordinator services and are individualized to meet your needs. Contact CLA Intake to learn more about our new Support Broker program, and during options counseling, ask the ADRC how Support Broker services might fit into your IRIS or managed care program plans.
- Behavioral Health Services. CLA currently provides individualized in-home counseling services and client group services. If you are interested in having a counselor meet with you in your home or attending support group meetings, contact CLA Intake to learn more, and, during options counseling, ask the ADRC how these services could fit into your IRIS or managed care plans.
CLA is committed to serving children with disabilities, adults with disabilities and chronic health conditions and seniors now and in the future. We appreciate serving our current clients and look forward to continuing to serve our community.
Remember: Community Living Alliance urges everyone to attend options counseling and to get long-term care program information directly from the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC). The ADRC is the designated place for you to get answers to your questions about long-term care. The ADRC is the only place to go to for options counseling. Community Living Alliance does not intend to influence any person’s choice regarding IRIS, Family Care or Family Care Partnership. This newsletter is intended to provide you with the latest CLA agency news and updates.
After you make your enrollment decision, if you want to receive services from CLA, let us know. Whether you are a current client or a new one, we’d be happy to assist with your planning process, no matter which long-term care program you choose. CLA is here for you.
