The Independent Living Supports Pilot Program

The Independent Living Supports Pilot program supports residents in select Wisconsin counties who desire to maintain autonomy and live independently in their homes. Primarily, it helps them avoid premature admission into long-term care facilities.

The American Rescue Plan Act funds the program and offers various services, including medical equipment and supplies, assistive technology, home and vehicle modifications, and emergent home clean-up services.

As an approved vendor, Cura360 assists program participants in finding the best products to keep them safe, independent, and mobile in their homes. They provide high-quality and reliable solutions and ensure you receive the products promptly.

What Are The Specific Services Offered By The Program Through Cura360

Here is a detailed look at some of the services Cura360 offers:

Medical Equipment

Cura360 supplies some of the best medical equipment from top manufacturers. These products include hospital beds, manual wheelchairs, powerchairs, mobility scooters, and walkers.

Cura360 also offers patient lifts to help move or transfer participants from a mobility aid device like a wheelchair to a bed and vice versa. These lifts have slings to assist in the transfer process.

Assistive Technologies

The products Cura360 offers are incorporated with modern assistive technologies to enhance the livelihoods of those in need. For instance, power wheelchairs and electric scooters have intuitive control systems for easy navigation.

On the other hand, Cura360 also offers high-quality red light therapy devices. These therapy devices have the following benefits:

• Improved skin health: Red light therapy increases collagen production, reduces wrinkles, and eliminates age spots.
• Pain relief: The red light penetrates the skin to reach deep tissues. In the process, it relieves chronic pain and muscle stiffness.
• Enhanced healing: Red light therapy promotes the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This compound is responsible for speeding up the body's natural healing processes.

Equipment Setup Assistance

Cura360 offers comprehensive equipment setup assistance through the White Glove Delivery service. This ensures that clients receive the delivery of their medical and assistive devices and also benefit from professional installation and setup services.

This program mainly benefits individuals who require sophisticated equipment, such as power wheelchairs and other medical appliances, that require expert assembly and configuration.

Lift Chairs

Cura360 also offers lift chairs that enhance comfort and mobility for people with mobility challenges. These chairs have the following features and benefits:

• Reclining positions: Users can customize the chairs to their preferred support and relaxation options.
• Remote control: The lift chairs have an easy-to-use remote control system that allows users to operate the lifting and reclining functions effortlessly.
• Motorized lifting mechanism: The motorized lifting mechanism smoothly elevates the seat. This helps the users to stand up without straining their joints or muscles.

Grounding Products

Grounding helps the body to remain connected to the Earth's natural energy. This exercise promotes physical health and mental clarity by channeling the beneficial electrons from the Earth into the body.

Some of the grounding products available at Cura360 include grounding mats, grounding sheets, grounding blankets, EMF-shielding boxer briefs, grounding pillowcases, and grounding socks, among others.

Below are other ILSP-approved products you'll find at Cura360:
