What is Options Counseling? (If You Live at Home)
If you are age 18 or older and want to remain at home but need some assistance, an options counseling session may be for you. Options Counseling will help you understand your options to continue living at home, with a focus on how you want to live. A Specialist will visit with you to discuss your plans for the future and help you assess your situation. You will receive information on services available in your community and get guidance in developing a plan.
What are the benefits of Options Counseling?
AAAWM recognizes that accepting assistance might feel like a loss of independence for some individuals, even though the help may be necessary in order to continue living independently. We work with individuals, understanding they are independent, capable people, who have made their own decisions and determined their life direction for decades. Based on the needs identified by the Options Counselor, it is the participant who determines what services they would like to try and how often they would like to receive assistance. The individual may also invite family members into the process as well.
