empowered living services

Our sponsored residential homes are designed to meet the specific needs of adults with intellectual disabilities and adults with Autism. Each home is beautifully furnished and features a 'part-of-the-family' style concept. Individuals can expect a fully furnished private bedroom, most homes offer a separate private bathroom, comfortable common areas, and outdoor space. 

The purpose of these ID/DD Wavier homes are to provide support in the community rather than in an Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ID).

Targeted Population: Individuals 18+ who are at developmental risk and/or individuals who have Intellectual Disability (ID). All individuals must:

(1) Meet the ICF/IID level of care criteria;

(2) Require waiver services within 30 days; and

(3) Be determined that community-based services under the waiver are the critical services that enable the individual to delay or avoid placement in an ICF/IID or promote exiting from either an ICF/IID or another institutional placement.

Admission Criteria: Program is administered by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) and the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS). The individual must be eligible for Medicaid and meet screening criteria.
