Am I Eligibile for Independent Living Rehabilitation Services?
To be eligible for ILRS you must be a person with a significant physical, mental, cognitive or sensory impairment which substantially limits your ability to function independently in your family, home and/or community. There must be a reasonable expectation that Independent Living Rehabilitation Services will assist you to improve your ability to function, continue functioning or move towards functioning independently. There is no upper or lower age limit for independent living services, however, the vast majority of clients receiving independent living services are 16 years of age or older. In those rare cases when children under 16 years of age are accepted for IL services, it must be agreed that they will be able to achieve a self-directed and independent lifestyle by the time the Individualized Written Independent Rehabilitation Plan (IWRP) has been completed. Not everyone with a disability may be eligible to receive ILRS services, but no person will be denied the right to apply.
