What is Residential Habilitation ?

Residential Habilitation is sometimes referred to as reshab which is a combination of services and supports that are provided to people with physical or intellectual developmental disabilities. These services and supports can be provided up to 24 hours per day and 7 days per week depending on the consumers condition. The services and/or supports are customized for each individual by their waiver support coordinator that creates their individuals support plan (ISP). The purpose of residential habilitation is to ensure the consumers health, safety and welfare and to assist them in the acquisition, improvement, and retention of the skills they need to live with success in their own homes and communities.

Residential Habilitation Meeting
It's us, the tax payers that are paying for Residential Habilitation services !

The money that is being made available to Residential Habilitation providers and the Medicaid waiver programs is coming from the Federal and State taxes that we pay. This money is not magically falling out of the sky, it's money that is being provided by the taxpayers that are paying for these services. For this reason, we are all entitled to have a say, when it comes to how these funds are being used. Unfortunately, very few people are getting involved and take the time to be a part of the decision making that affects us all as residential habilitation providers and consumers. As direct service providers we all have a responsibility to not only provide services to our consumers but also to genuinely care for them and advocate for their health and safety.
