In the coming months, Merrick will be expanding our Individualized Home Support (IHS) Services program to serve both current clients and individuals who are not currently enrolled in our programs. These services may be provided on their own or alongside existing services and will be scheduled at times that best meet the needs of the client and their support teams. 

Positive Support Professional Brady Mallek, who has worked at Merrick for nearly seven years, currently supports 4 clients receiving IHS Services. “IHS services are tailored to each individual’s needs and goals, providing assistance with daily living, skill development, and community participation,” Brady explained. “It allows individuals to maintain independence, stability, and quality of life in their own homes and community.” 

Interested clients should contact their case manager, who will determine if the services are available within their waiver plan. For more information, contact Kristine Orubo, Program Director, at kristineo@merrickinc.org or (651) 789-6206.
