Essential Living Support provides Personal Care Services in Cheyenne for eligible Wyoming DD Waiver participants. Support is based on each participant’s authorized Individualized Plan of Care (IPC), preferences, routines, and level of assistance, with dignity and independence at the center.
Personal Care Services provide prompting or hands-on assistance with authorized activities of daily living. The goal is to help the participant complete personal routines safely and respectfully while encouraging the greatest appropriate level of choice and independence.
Support is participant-specific. ELS follows the assistance level, setting, schedule, and other requirements identified in the IPC rather than applying a standard package to everyone.
The participant’s approved IPC controls what ELS may provide. These examples do not guarantee that a particular activity is authorized for every participant.
Personal Care may fit an eligible Wyoming DD Waiver participant who needs authorized assistance with personal activities of daily living. The amount and type of support can range from reminders or step-by-step prompting to hands-on help, depending on assessed need and authorization.
The case manager and plan-of-care team determine eligibility and authorization. ELS reviews referrals for service fit, schedule, documentation needs, and current provider capacity.
Personal Care Services must be authorized through the participant’s Wyoming DD Waiver planning process and reflected in the IPC. The plan guides the purpose, approved activities, service setting, schedule, assistance level, and documentation expectations.
ELS does not present Personal Care as independent medical care, skilled nursing, therapy, or an open-ended home-care service. When needs change, ELS communicates with the appropriate support team members and follows the approved planning process.
ELS works with the participant, guardian, case manager, family, and other authorized team members to understand established routines, communication preferences, safety needs, personal choices, and the level of assistance identified in the IPC.
Coordination may include confirming authorization before services begin, establishing consistent routines, documenting support delivered, sharing relevant observations with authorized team members, and addressing questions when the participant’s needs or schedule changes.
