Who may need Services Coordination?
Services coordination is most commonly used by people receiving home and community based services. You may need Services Coordination if:
- You need help finding services to be provided in your home.
- You want to live as independently as possible.
- You are an individual with disabilities or medical conditions, or the family of a child with special health care needs.
Services Coordination means that you will start out with a Services Coordinator who will help:
- Find services to meet your needs.
- Link you with needed services.
- Work with multiple providers to make sure services are provided to you as needed.
- Support you to become a coordinator of your own services in the future.
What can a Services Coordinator do for me?
You may find it difficult to locate needed services and schedule your service providers. Services Coordinators can help:
- See if you are eligible for services.
- Assess your needs.
- Develop a plan of services and supports based on your assessed needs.
- Develop services to meet your needs.
- Connect you with needed services in the community.
Services Coordinators are:
- Participant-centered, meaning they help individuals have choices in how to live and where to live.

What if I want to coordinate my own services?
You have the right and responsibility to plan and direct your own services to the greatest extent possible.
