Multiple Choice

At least one member of the Natural supports must be:

Natural supports are the unpaid, informal help that comes from people in a person’s everyday life—neighbors, friends, coworkers, or community members—outside paid staff. Having at least one member who is non-paid and non-related ensures the plan draws from someone outside the family circle and not paid by the program, which strengthens community connections and broadens the support network. This is why the best choice is someone who is not paid and not related. Paid supports or relying only on relatives don’t meet that specific requirement of bringing in a non-related, unpaid natural supporter.
