Electronic Monitoring uses an electronic support system to provide oversight for an individual who may need assistance while spending time at home or in the community. It may be considered for individuals who have support needs that make additional monitoring appropriate, particularly when direct, continuous in-person assistance is not being provided.
How It Works
Electronic monitoring may involve:
- Electronic monitoring of the individual’s designated setting
- Technology-based support related to the individual’s needs
- Monitoring that can supplement other habilitation or support services
- Support intended to help address identified monitoring needs
- Use within the individual’s home or other approved setting, as applicable
What to Expect
Electronic Monitoring is generally used as part of an individual’s broader support arrangement rather than as a replacement for every form of direct assistance. The specific technology, monitoring arrangement, and level of support depend on the individual’s circumstances and authorized service plan. Individuals and their support teams can determine how monitoring fits with other services being provided.
