Description:
Independent Living Resources is committed to community diversity through advocacy, choice and education resulting in empowerment for individuals with disabilities.
Independent Living Resources will provides services to persons with any disability of any age within our service area. Most services have no eligibility requirements and are available at no cost to the consumer.
Disabilities Served: Mental illness, Development/Cognitive, Physical, Learning Disability, Brain Injury, Stroke and Cancer Survivors, Respiratory, Environmental Sensitivity, HIV/AIDS, Deaf, Blind, Low Vision, Hard of Hearing (This list is not all inclusive)
Independent Living Centers help people with disabilities achieve or maintain more self-sufficient and productive lives in their communities. People with disabilities are assisted in exploring alternatives to institutionalization and are encouraged to make their own decisions about how they will live. ILCs directly provide or coordinate through referral those services which assist people in increasing their abilities to exercise control over their lives. Control over one's life means having a choice of acceptable options that minimize reliance on others in making decisions and performing every day activities. This includes managing one's own affairs, participating in day-to-day community life and fulfilling a range of social roles.
Our main offices are located in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Outreach to the southern portion of our service area and Medical Assistance Case Management are provided by the Richland Center Office.
