ANIXTER CENTER RESIDENTIAL SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL/DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES

Depending on the needs of the person with the disability, Anixter’s residential support services range from home visits to services for families to 24-hour care. Settings vary from neighborhood buildings where 4-8 people are living in one home, to individual apartments leased by the person with a disability.

CILA: 24-HOUR SUPERVISED COMMUNITY INTEGRATED LIVING ARRANGEMENTS

Anixter Center’s 24-hour CILA services provide full-time supports for individuals residing in a variety of neighborhood homes with roommates. Staff are on-site at all times and offer opportunities for residents to build daily living skills and engage in community life.

I-CILA: INTERMITTENT COMMUNITY INTEGRATED LIVING ARRANGEMENT (I-CILA) SERVICES

Anixter Center’s I-CILA services are offered to clients who live on their own or with roommates or family. Caseworkers connect people with community services and offer direct assistance in life-skill areas such as medication compliance, budgeting, cleaning, nutrition, medical appointment follow-up and compliance, self-care, and linkage to community resources. I-CILA clients do not need a 24-hour supervised setting.
