About SCSIS
People with
disabilities and the elderly want choice in the services and supports
they receive. Information and Referral/Assistance (I&R/A) can
be an important resource to assist South Carolina in making informed
choices.
For
the past 20 years, the South Carolina Services Information System
(SCSIS) has been meeting the information needs of people with
disabilities and the elderly. To better serve these populations
and to comply with SC’s plan, SCSIS was recently moved from the USC
School of Medicine to the South
Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
Efforts are underway to develop an enhanced version of SCSIS and the
current SCSIS services database will eventually transition into the
state of South Carolina’s comprehensive I&R/A system.
What SCSIS can do for
you!
SCSIS can link you to hundreds of other web sites, define commonly used
acronyms in the disability and aging fields and inform you of upcoming
conferences and trainings. The
Services
Database identifies service providers in an area close to
you and allows providers to add or update their information on-line.
To
make it easy to find a Service on the Services
Database, all Services are divided
into Service Categories. For
example: under the Service Category “Personal Care/Home Health”, the
following services are available to search: Attendant/Personal Care
Aide, Activities of Daily Living Assistance, Companion, Home Health,
Hospice and Skilled Nursing Care. The
following categories contain over 400 types of services:
|
