AMSI’s Role in Caregiving and Support Services
The American Support Standards Institute develops voluntary, non-regulatory standards for caregiving and support services.
AMSI help individuals, families, workers, providers, and policymakers describe quality more clearly across home, community, employment, and residential settings.
Our work connects support roles and daily service activities to real outcomes — including safety, dignity, participation, stability, and daily life.
