Service surpassing every expectation and standard of care.
Our ISL service is characterized by a creative, flexible, responsive and diverse approach to care. An ISL enables people with developmental disabilities to be fully integrated into their communities. Our ISL services provide individualized support, delivered in a truly personalized way to individuals who live in their own homes with up to 24 hours of support.
ISL recipients choose their residence—leased by the clients who live there or by a designated representative or guardian. They also choose their housemate and their level of community engagement. We assist individuals in acquiring, retaining and improving the self-help, socialization and adaptive skills necessary to live successfully at home.
ISL support is based on the individual's needs and focuses on many interest areas, including recreational, social, medical, personal care, transportation, or financial and budget planning. Support may include:
- Grocery shopping, meal planning, and food preparation
- Providing transportation
- Scheduling and attending medical appointments
- Keeping track of prescription medication
- Assistance with housekeeping
- Guidance and support with goal-setting and self-advocacy
- Budgeting assistance
- Problem-solving skills
- Coordinating and supporting community involvement, such as recreational and social activities
We understand better than most the level of commitment and energy it takes to provide exceptional care to loved ones. Our In-Home Respite care option gives you the support you need to rest, recover and return at your best.
Out-of-home respite is care provided outside the home in a licensed, accredited or certified waiver residential facility, ICF/IDD or State Habilitation Center by trained and qualified staff according to an individual care plan and not on a permanent basis, limited to no more than 60 days annually.
This limit may be exceeded on an individual basis when necessary to protect the health and welfare of a waiver participant subject to approval.
Our personal assistance services provide opportunities for instruction and the practice of activities promoting independence, including assistance with any activity of daily living (ADL). General supervision and protective oversight may also be provided through the use of advanced remote monitoring technology.
ADL includes bathing, toileting, transfer and ambulation, skincare, grooming, dressing, care of adaptive equipment, meal preparation, feeding, and incidental household cleaning and laundry.
We pride ourselves on creating an exciting and safe environment for our clients to participate in social and therapeutic activities while receiving necessary support.

Individualized Supported Living (ISL)
Developmental Disability Services
Our Individualized Supported Living (ISL) services are tailored to each individual's needs. This includes assistance with daily tasks such as meal preparation, housekeeping, and personal care.
We also provide support in areas such as social and interpersonal skills, decision-making, cooking, home management, financial management, self-care, and safety both inside and outside the home. Our goal is to empower individuals with disabilities to live as independently as possible while receiving the support they need to thrive.
I work for Heartland Supported Living, Inc. in Sikeston, Mo. This company has been the best I have worked with. I do CDS and In Home Care, if I have any questions, they are willing and ready to answer me quickly. They are very concerned about their clients and employees. I would highly recommend Heartland Supported Living, Inc. to clients and employees.
