Integrated Community Supports

Integrated Community Supports (ICS) is a DHS service that provides supportive services including to adults ages 18 and older who reside in a provider-controlled ICS setting. ICS services include community participation, health safety and wellness, household management, and adaptative skills. ICS services cover training and supports to meet the persons individualized needs and goals, while ensuring that all tools and metrics used are person centered.
