CILA
24-hour Supervised Residential Facility for Adults
Chester, IL
ComWell’s CILA is a community integrated living arrangement that promotes residential stability for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We provide them with an array of services to meet their needs. Our Direct Support Professionals care for clients both inside and outside of the home. Based on their needs, individuals receive supervision and supportive services which may range from continuous to intermittent. Their goals are our goals.
Our care-takers work to support residents in a way that reflects independent living to the maximum extent possible so they may live in the way they would if they were able to live alone. Our clients have the freedom to live comfortably in their home, care for their own space, shop for themselves, spend the money they earn, have picnics, go to the park, visit family, go out to eat, go on vacation and go sight-seeing among other activities they enjoy!
A typical day at CILA is a lot like yours!
24-hour supervision is provided and ranges from immediate to non-invasive supervision where staff are onsite and accessible when needed. Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professionals are assigned to coordinate all client care including medical, dental and mental health services. Our residence has a registered nurse available for consult 24-hours a day.
It is our goal to bridge the gap between individual and resource while providing ongoing personal support.

Eligibility and Enrollment
An individual can choose to be “private pay” or to be funded by awaiting selection from the (PUNS) list. Through this, clients are selected to receive funding based on the availability of state funds as well as the needs of the client or family.
To be put on the PUNS list, the Southern Illinois Case Coordination Services must be contacted. An individual service coordinator (ISC) agent will meet with the individual, guardian and family to ask and answer questions, explain available services and identify specific needs for the individual(s).
PUNS Funding FAQ's
While some clients and their families choose our private pay option, many are funded through the State of Illinois via PUNS funding.
PUNS is a statewide database that records information about individuals with developmental disabilities who are planning for or seeking services. The State uses the data to select individuals for services as funding becomes available
Please contact our area independent service coordination agency, Southern Illinois Case Coordination (618) 532-4300.

Behavioral Services & Support
ComWell is pleased to now offer Applied Behavior Analytic Services and Supports to our community. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. ABA is considered an evidence-based best practice treatment by the US Surgeon General and by the American Psychological Association. Behavior Analysis helps us to understand how behavior works, how behavior is affected by the environment, and how learning takes place. ABA therapy applies our understanding of how behavior works to real life situations. The goal is to increase behaviors that are helpful and appropriate and decrease behaviors that are harmful or affect learning. ABA services are not a “one size fits all” but rather, developed to meet the individual needs of the person. ABA is effective for people of all ages. It can be used from early childhood through adulthood! Services are provided by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Service delivery can occur across environments, such as at home, in the community, school, or community day services.
