Senior Living Programs
Senior Living Programs is targeted towards Independent Living, Assisted
Living, Alzheimer's and Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs).
Other than CCRC facilities, the program is limited to facilities with
ambulatory residents who need assistance with Activities of Daily
Living.
Home Health agencies and Hospice organizations
This A-Rated program is custom designed to the needs of the home health
and hospice industry. With the continuing trend toward independent
living, there are now more than 10,000 certified Home Health agencies
and Hospice organizations across the nation. Their mission is to help
those who are recovering, disabled, chronically or terminally ill get
the treatment or assistance they need without leaving the comforts of
their own home. Personal service is key. And now there is an insurance
program that gives these organizations the level of service and coverage
they deserve.
Addiction Treatment
Our Addiction Treatment Package is designed for organizations and
facilities that support those striving to overcome alcohol and substance
abuse, as well as other forms of addiction. These facilities may offer a
variety of services, such as counseling, workshops, and vocational
programs, but should not include acute medical care as a primary service
component.
Addiction is a pathological relationship to a substance, person,
behavior or process. The idea that addicts lack willpower has long been
debunked. There is a major shift in the field of addiction and mental
health services that has supported and yielded an emerging recovery
paradigm. There is now a greater focus on what happens before and after
treatment, a shift from professional-directed treatment plans to
client-developed recovery plans. There is simultaneously a greater
emphasis on the physical, social and cultural environment in which
recovery succeeds or fails, and an increased use of peer-based recovery
coaches. ISA supports providers who focus on the recovery of the
individual before, during, and after primary treatment is completed.
Understanding that relapse often occurs with addicts, having the
supports for the individual throughout the treatment cycle promotes
greater chances of long-term recovery and reduces the chances of
relapse.
Community/Social Services Overview
Social Service agencies represent a vast array of additional nonprofits
that may not fit into previously mentioned categories. These programs
have a corporate 501 (c) 3 structure and provide services to the
community to improve its social and individual welfare. Social Service
programs seek to meet individuals’ needs through social change at the
community, organizational, societal, and global levels.
Social Service agencies blend an array of services in response to the
overwhelming need for improvement in the lives of individuals, which in
the past may have been the responsibility of the government but are now
being transferred back to the community. The programs are responsible
for promoting the economic and social well-being of families, children,
individuals and communities. They aim to achieve family and individual
empowerment to increase economic independence and productivity, and they
strive to promote strong, healthy, supportive communities that have a
positive impact on the quality of life and the development of children.
Developmental Disabilities
Services and supports for people with developmental disabilities come in
many forms and cover the arenas of medication, employment, education,
habilitation, community living, leisure, and health. Providers of these
services may specialize in one area or provide an array of supports and
services. They serve people with developmental disabilities of all ages
and their families. They may sometimes serve others in the community as
well. For instance, an employment support provider may work with people
who have both mental health problems and developmental disabilities.
Supports are planned with the individual, their family and field
professionals, while customarily overseen by state and federal bodies.
Providers are licensed by their respective states to operate. They can
be private or state operated; “for-profit” or “non-profit.” They range
in size from one house “Mom and Pop” operations to multi-state,
multi-facility operations. Most include a Board of Directors and are
subject to minimum safety and quality of care standards.
Mental Health
Our mental health program is designed for organizations that provide
psychiatric and mental health counseling through residential and
outpatient treatment programs, where chronic medical care is not a major
component. These programs assist people in need of behavioral health
services while focusing on recovery as the ultimate objective.
ISA continues to support behavioral health organizations in their
efforts to promote recovery for people with mental illness while
facilitating the “recovery vision,” which calls for individuals,
practitioners, and family members to become active participants in
encouraging a person’s potential. The creative and supportive role of
the practitioner remains a constant challenge in where they can assist
the individuals they serve in recognizing their individual strengths
while developing consumer empowerment and a successful recovery process. Back to Insurance FAQ |
