Residential Habilitation Services
Residential Habilitation (Res-Hab) is a Medicaid-reimbursed service, which is provided in an individual's home by a Residential Habilitation Care Provider and an agency Program Coordinator. This service includes setting goals specific to the individual's desire to move towards increased self-sufficiency while assuring there are adequate supports available to maintain the individual's health and safety.
Program Coordination can include (but is not limited to):
- Writing the consumer's annual Implementation Plan (IP) and other required reports.
- Encouraging reasonable independence and community participation through goals and objectives included in the IP.
- Monitoring the consumer's progress in skills development.
- Meeting with the consumer and the care provider in the home at least quarterly to review documentation and satisfaction with services.
- Providing oversight, regular training, and quality assurance for the Residential Habilitation provider.
- Advocacy supporting the consumer.
