Community Residential Services (CRS)

Services that provide training and/or habilitation, ongoing residential care and supportive services to adults and/or children in a licensed setting. Habilitation skills are designed to help people with developmental disabilities develop, maintain, and improve the self-help, socialization, and adaptive skills necessary to live successfully in their home and the community.

Examples of habilitation include therapeutic activities, assistance, training, supervision, and monitoring in the areas of self-care, communication skills, community participation and mobility, health care, household management, interpersonal skills, money management, increase in positive behavior and reduction of challenging behavior, sensory and motor development, and socialization. These services are personalized and based on the needs of the person, as identified in the support plan.

This setting typically uses a shift-staff model of support (i.e., paid staff work shifts on a 24-hour basis). In this type of setting, at least one person receives community residential services funded by an HCBS waiver program.

Independent Living with Built-in Supports
Services that provide support and training/habilitation in community living service categories to adults age 18 and older who reside in a living unit of a provider-controlled ICS setting (e.g., apartment in a multi-family housing building). ICS can be delivered up to 24 hours per day in the person’s living unit or in the community.
