How Affinity Care and Counseling supports Adults with Disabilities

The Support Coordinator manages Support Coordination services for each participant. Support Coordination services are services that assist participants in gaining access to needed program and State plan services, as well as needed medical, social, educational, and other services. The Support Coordinator is responsible for developing and maintaining the Individualized Service Plan with the participant, their family (if applicable), and other team members designated by the participant. The Support Coordinator is responsible for the ongoing monitoring of the provision of services included in the Individualized Service Plan.

The Support Coordinator writes the Individual Service Plan based on assessed needs and the person-centered planning process with the individual and the planning team. The Support Coordinator links the individual to needed services and supports and assists the individual in identifying service providers as needed. The Support Coordinator also ensures that the services and supports remain within the allotted budget and monitor the delivery of services.
