Personalized Planning

At Community Living North Grenville (CLNG), we personalize the care we give to the people we support by working with them to build an Individual Support Plan developed during annual meetings to stay up-to-date on their needs as they change over time.

Individual Support Plan (ISP)

These plans help us provide personalized support tailored to the needs of each person we care for. We use them to review what a typical day might look like for the people we support and how that changes throughout the week. We also use them to document any personal, medical, and financial needs and community resources they might need, like event participation and work opportunities, to live their best lives.

ISPs help us assess the level of support a person requires for domestic needs such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, and phone use. They also help us gauge a person’s ability to safely travel outside their home, their level of mobility, and the amount of supervision and assistance they require to travel safely.

We also use a person’s annual ISP meeting as an opportunity to celebrate their positive qualities while reinforcing their confidence and self-esteem. We then spend some time discussing the best ways to support the person, what’s important to them and what makes them feel proud.

Next, we account for all the great things the person has done and experienced in the past year and discuss the current activities they like to regularly participate in while also considering any emerging needs they might have.

Among other things, we end the meeting by spending some time discussing the accomplishments the person’s made over the past year and some goals they’d like to work toward going forward.
