In-Home Supports (IHS)

Triangle, Inc.’s Residential Services department offers In-Home Supports (IHS) to people with disabilities who are eligible for individualized support services from the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (DDS). This program offers “life enhancement” services that cater to the unique needs of each person, while also providing on-call support. Triangle staff members meet regularly with each client to focus on their goals and needs while fostering deeper levels of independence and personal choice. IHS services are an ideal support system for people with disabilities living independently and do not require a higher level of services.
IHS services leverage Triangle’s broad expertise in the disability services space. As a client begins services as a referral, our clinical and quality assurance team develops a rigorous service plan for each person that focuses on specific areas of need, including household management, financial management, travel training and assistance, community engagement, abuse prevention, healthy relationships, self-advocacy, and emergency/inclement weather planning. As changes occur in a person’s life, our team will be there to support each individual and adjust services as needed. And if a person receiving services moves into a new home or living environment, Triangle will be there to support them through the transition.
