Community Living Services
Easterseals' Community Living Services program is offered in a semi-independent apartment setting or in your own home with qualified and dedicated staff. Working with our clients' best interest in mind, Easterseals strives to create a safe, secure environment of respect that results in high quality care. With Easterseals, families have the choice to receive a single type of care or combination of services depending on the complexity of need. A comprehensive array of options are offered in order to provide the best possible care for loved ones.
Who is eligible for Residential Services?
Persons desiring admission to the Community Living Services Program offered by Easterseals must meet the following eligibility criteria established by the funding source and regulatory agencies:
- Must be over the age of 18.
- Must have a diagnosis of a Developmental Disability.
- Must have CLS Medicaid Waiver.
What does the Residential Program entail?
Easterseals staff assists program participants and provides opportunities for personal growth and skill development in the areas of activities of daily living such as: bathing, grooming, cooking, housekeeping, personal care, learning social skills, and assistance in community activities. The hours of service are based on the individual's needs and will be provided with minimum interference with their daily life. Individuals' interests and needs are considered when activities are planned, and residents enjoy both "family-style" outings and those of a more individual nature. Families are actively involved with their loved one and friends can visit frequently. Birthdays and holidays are encouraged to be celebrated with family and friends. Easterseals strives to assist people to become the best, well-rounded person as they possibly can be. It is important to Easterseals that people are an integral part of their community and neighborhood.
*All persons seeking to reside in one of Easterseals apartments, residing in their own home or in HUD (US Dept of housing and Urban Development) Housing, must be over age 18.
We recognize that community inclusion and access is especially important for those living independently. With questions, please contact us.
