Community Living
Community Living (Residential) Supports assist people to live as independently as possible in their own homes, apartments, and group homes. These services allow clients an opportunity to enjoy more personal freedom in selecting where, how, and with whom they live. Community Living Supports can include 24-hour direct care staff support. Actual type, frequency, and duration of the supports will be based on the client's selected housing arrangement and assessed needs. Supports are available to clients who live alone or with roommates. Community Living Support includes direct support services such as behavior support, meal preparation, assisting with eating, bathing, dressing, and/or personal hygiene, as well as indirect services such as socialization, self-help, and adaptive/compensatory skills necessary to reside successfully in the community.
For additional information, see Division Directive 1.2 (Eligibility and Intake) and Administrative Rule R539-1 (Eligibility).
