Residential Support Services, Developmental Disabilities

At Cumberland Mountain Community Services Board, Residential Support Services provides skill development, supervision, and support to individuals with developmental disabilities who reside in their family’s home. Services and supports are tailored to support each person’s achievement of their personal goals with an overall goal of independence. This service does not typically provide continuous 24-hour care. Individuals receive training in the areas of personal hygiene and grooming, communication skills, domestic skills, social living and community integration. Medical needs are continually assessed and referrals for medical care are made to the program nurse or the individual’s physician. Needed medications are administered by trained staff under a doctor’s order. Residential Support Services provides residential training, personal assistance and respite companions. Services may be provided through satellite offices in Lebanon, Grundy, and Tazewell.
