Community Integration Services

Nationally, Volunteers of America has been providing services to individuals with developmental disabilities for over a century.   Because Volunteers of America is a multi-service provider, it has often been asked to develop specialized services for individuals with disabilities across the country.  Locally, due to these requests, Volunteers of America Ohio River Valley developed a specialized Supported Living Services Program and a Day Program.  Individuals referred by a County Board of MR/DD with a primary diagnosis of Mental Retardation or Developmental Disabilities are eligible for these programs.   All programs are licensed and certified by state, federal and/or county monitoring agencies.

Volunteers of America Ohio River Valley is a Medicaid waiver provider.  Our Community Integration Services are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, or CARF, in the following areas:  

• Supported Living: Integrated: DD/Mental Health (Adults)
• Community Services: Community Integration

Supported Living

Supported Living Services are designed to provide individualized support for adults with developmental disabilities who live independently, with family, in a group setting, or are making the transition from an institution to a community setting.  Through individualized support planning meetings the needs of each individual are identified and a support package is designed to meet their specific needs.  The support package could plan for 24-hour support or a few hours a week, all depending on the individual’s needs. 

Recreational outings, assistance with personal care, and assistance with money management are all examples of the services offered through our Supported Living Services.  The goal of our Supported Living Services is to help individuals live as independently as possible and be part of the surrounding community.
