Fraser Home-Based Services Claimed

The Fraser Home-Based Services program offers a variety of service options, many of which can be combined to best meet the needs of each client and his/her family. Services are implemented by trained Direct Support Professionals and supervised by qualified coordinators. They are provided on an hourly, daily or weekend schedule, depending on need and service authorization.

Fraser Home-Based services offer four different support options:

This service is for adults who need support and training in at least one of the community living service categories.  The individual must reside in their own home or family home.

Individualized Home Supports (IHS) with Family Training
