Family Support
We support families who have a loved one with a disability by helping them find the best opportunities and ways to pay for them.
About Family Support
At Thriving Villages, family support is available as you work through questions about caring for an adult with disabilities. We’ll help you support your loved one and integrate them into the community. Personal consultations help you navigate service options, explore unique social and healthcare opportunities, and find resources.
Navigating the complexities of the disability services system can be overwhelming. That’s where our coordinators come in. With expertise and knowledge, they’ll help you develop a personalized plan for your loved one and find services that meet their unique needs. Here are some helpful ways we’ll support you and your loved one:
- Reduce expenses and save money.
- Access assistance with daily activities.
- Enroll in our Community Learning Services to further develop skills and engage with the community.
- Secure employment through our Employment Services.
- Seek behavioral support, if necessary.
- Receive support for transitioning from a child-based waiver to an adult-based waiver.
- Access affordable or free transportation.
- Gain an understanding of the Illinois Disability System, including Social Security, Medicaid, guardianship, trusts, and letters of intent.
We also help with wills and estate planning, approval for home and vehicle modifications, temporary support, and adaptive technology.
