Plan of Service specifies exactly what services will be delivered and by whom. Plan of Support, on the other hand, describes the person’s goals and desired outcomes, the budget to fund the supports, and how those supports will be coordinated to achieve those outcomes. This separation is why the correct statement says the Plan of Service identifies specific services and providers, while the Plan of Support covers goals, outcomes, budget, and coordination. For example, the Plan of Service might list in-home care hours and the providers, whereas the Plan of Support would outline the family’s goals (like greater independence), the funding available, and how scheduling and coordination will be managed. The other options mix or omit these distinctions: one centers goals and outcomes in the Plan of Service, another only mentions services without the Plan of Support components, and another mislabels one document as marketing or a contract.
