ILST services are designed to improve or maintain the ability of the participant to live as independently as possible in the community. ILST assists in recovering skills that have decreased as a result of onset of disability. Also, ILST will primarily be targeted to those individuals with progressive illnesses to maintain essential skills.
Community Transitional Services (CTS)
CTS services are intended to assist participants with the physical transition from a nursing home to living in the community. CTS is a one-time service per enrollment and is ONLY provided when transitioning from a nursing home.
Structured Day Program (SDP)
Structured Day Program services are designed to improve or maintain the participant’s skills and ability to live as independently as possible in the community.

This service provides the skills training that is needed as well as the consistent reinforcement of those skills in real life settings.
