Residential Living Services support and assist people within their communities and in the natural setting of home. Many individuals are able to transition to other types of supported living arrangements after receiving education and skill development based on needs identified in their plans. Individuals typically live in agency owned/rental homes, yet the homes are considered belonging to the people who live in them. Many individuals bring their own furniture and decorations in order to personalize their residence. Individuals receive support in personal care, household management, shopping, money management, cooking and meal planning, care of personal belongings, use of adaptive devices, health care and accessing medical services. Individuals receive support in achieving more socially desirable behaviors when necessary, and acquiring alternative means of communication. Our fully trained direct support employees help individuals with making educated choices, becoming familiar with and a part of their community, finding jobs and on-the-job training.
Types of assistance offered include following through with goals established in plans that are person centered. Examples of this service may be exposure to a variety of social and recreational activities, support to engage in hobbies and special interests such as observance of cultural and religious preferences and assistance in developing and maintaining relationships with others and families.
Reimbursement for services is through contractual arrangements between Keystone and local county Mental Health/Mental Retardation Programs which are part of the Department of Public Welfare. Services are licensed annually by the Department of Public Welfare.
