What we do

We assist Adult individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disability that live in the family home, live independently, or receive residential services. Specifically, services coordinators work to ensure that:

  • the Individual Support Plan is implemented,
  • there are no health and safety issues,
  • medical issues are being addressed and
  • a person's money is being used appropriately

Get started

To start the process of obtaining a Services Coordinator fill out this referral form or call 503.988.6258.

Individual Support Plan

Each adult served has an individually tailored plan of care called an Individual Support Plan (ISP). It is developed by the adult and the adult's network of support. The ISP defines the supports the individual will receive throughout the year including the level of involvement the Service Coordinator will have during the year. The Service Coordinator works closely with the individual and the network of support to help them progress toward their identified goals including aspirations, community integration, and employment.
