Supported Employment Coaching
Supported employment services provide training and assistance in a variety of activities to support recipients in sustaining paid employment at or above minimum wage unless the recipient is operating a small business. The supported employment provider assists with the acquisition, retention or improvement of skills related to accessing and maintaining such employment or developing and operating a small business. With the assistance of the supported employment provider, the recipient is assisted in securing employment according to their desired outcomes, including the type of work environment, activities, hours of work, level of pay and supports needed.
Supported employment is conducted in a variety of settings, to include work sites in which individuals, without disabilities, are employed. Supported employment includes activities needed to sustain paid work at or above minimum wage for recipients receiving waiver services, including supervision and training. This training can focus on both the recipient’s needs, as well as providing consultation to the employer to enhance supports natural to the workplace rather than imposing paid supports. Supported employment providers will immediately notify the recipient’s waiver support coordinator of any changes affecting the recipient’s income. The service provider shall work with both the recipient and the respective support coordinator to maintain eligibility under the DD waiver, as well as health and income benefits through the Social Security Administration and other resources.
Personal Care Assistance
Personal care assistance is a service that assists a recipient with eating and meal preparation, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and other self-care
activities of daily living. The service also includes activities such as assistance with meal preparation, bed making and vacuuming when these activities are essential to the health, safety, and welfare of the recipient and when no one else is available to perform them. This service is provided on a one-on-one basis. Personal care assistance may not be used solely for supervision or as a substitute for a meaningful day activity.
Supportive Living Coach Services
Supported living coaching services provide training and assistance, in a variety of activities, to support recipients who live in their own homes or apartments. These services are provided by qualified supported living coaches to a recipient residing in a living setting meeting the requirements set forth in rule 65G-5.004, F.A.C., and may include assistance with locating appropriate housing; the acquisition, retention or improvement of skills related to activities of daily living such as personal hygiene and grooming; household chores; meal preparation; shopping; personal finances and the social and adaptive skills necessary to enable recipients to reside on their own.
