Residential Support Services provide assistance that helps individuals maintain health, safety, and stability within their living environment while working toward greater independence. Across Ohio, this service is commonly used by adults with developmental disabilities who need ongoing support with household responsibilities, personal routines, community participation, and other aspects of daily residential life.
How It Works:
Residential supports are delivered as part of an individual’s everyday living environment:
- Services are based on the individual’s assessed needs, preferences, and authorized support plan.
- Staff assists with daily routines, household responsibilities, and activities that contribute to a safe living environment.
- Support may include guidance with personal care, meal planning, scheduling, and community involvement.
- Individuals are encouraged to participate in decisions affecting their daily lives and living arrangements.
- Services are coordinated with family members, guardians, and support teams when appropriate.
- Support levels may be adjusted as needs, goals, and living circumstances change.
What to Expect
The service typically begins with a review of the individual’s living situation, support needs, and personal goals. Day-to-day assistance is provided within the residential setting while encouraging participation in household and community activities. Regular communication and ongoing review help ensure supports continue to align with the individual’s evolving needs and circumstances.
