Our
Semi-Independent Living Services Program created in 1975, is one
of the oldest in the state of Minnesota. The SILS Program
provides counseling, training and support needed for people to live
alone, with a roommate or spouse in their own apartment or home,
or in a family setting as they prepare for greater independence.
Services are designed with each individual to ensure continued
success and independence. Areas of focus include
-
meal
management
-
shopping
-
financial management
-
personal appearance
-
apartment maintenance
-
accessing resources
-
rights
and responsibilities of community living
-
social
and leisure skills
-
general medical supervision.
The amount
of staff assistance varies based on the needs of the individual
who is being served. A unique feature of HMC’s Semi-Independent Living
Service is the availability of on-call services, allowing a SILS
staff to respond to needs on holidays, weekends and night time.
