Community Integration Counseling (CIC)

CIC is a counseling service for waiver participants who are experiencing problems managing emotions as the result of adjusting to a physical or cognitive disability. The CIC can be provided either in the patient’s home or in the provider’s office.

Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support Services (PBIS)

PBIS is for the waiver participant who is experiencing significant behavioral difficulties that jeopardize their ability to remain in their community. The PBIS team works with the Waiver participant to identify the counter-productive behaviors, and develop a plan of “interventions” that will help to recognize the triggers and actions to take to decrease frequency and severity. The end result is learning tactics to employ to manage the counter-productive behaviors, and improve the communication with people in the community and family caregivers.

Sunshine Home Care staff assesses behaviors, develops a plan of action, and works with the participant and family to ensure the Behavioral Intervention and Support Plan focuses on exchanging inappropriate for more socially accepted behavior.

Structured Day Program Services (SDP)

SDP services are designed on a case-by-case basis. The services work with waiver plan participants to strengthen every day skills essential to lead productive lives such as personal care, task completion, communication, problem-solving, socialization, mobility, money management, running a household, and controlling maladaptive behavior.

Nutritional Counseling and Educational Services

Nutritional Counseling and Education Services are designed to guide and inform the waiver participant about their nutritional needs based on individual’s particular health and physical conditions.

Community Transitional Services (CTS)

CTS is a one-time service offered to waiver participants who are moving from an institutional setting to a home or an apartment. CTS will cover reasonable costs for moving-in and set-up in the participant’s new place of residence.
