Frequently asked questions
What disability services are available in Idaho Falls?
Through Idaho's waivers: the DD waiver (developmental disabilities) and the Aged & Disabled waiver (physical/other disabilities, 18–64, and 65+) both fund residential habilitation/supported living — agencies like EHS. Other waiver services include developmental therapy, adult day health, supported employment, respite, attendant care, and service coordination. Start with Medicaid and the right application for your situation — see our Start Here guide.
Do you provide adult day programs?
No — EHS provides residential habilitation and supported living, not adult day health. We can point you to Region 7 adult day providers, and your targeted service coordinator can add day services to the plan.
How do I refer someone to EHS?
