deteriorating or the individual from losing his/her independence or
productivity, and/or to maintain the caregivers ability to provide supports and
a stable home environment in the foreseeable future.

maintain the individuals health, independence or productivity, and/or to
maintain the caregivers long-term ability to provide supports in a stable home
