Residential Care Homes

Residential Homemaker Personal Care Services

Our devoted and attentive Direct Support Professionals (DSP) are present at our residential care homes 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. Our personnel ratios are established using a standardized instrument, the Ohio Developmental Disabilities Profile (ODDP), which assesses the relative needs and circumstances of each person living in a residential care home.

Support Coordination

We believe that working as a team to address the needs and wants of the person receiving our services yields the best results. We welcome a team approach and work diligently with the person receiving our services, natural supports, and other team members to provide a comprehensive personal support plan that includes assistance with everyday life goals, finances, and medical decisions. Our Direct Support Professionals (DSP) assist with carrying out individual support plans that enable each person to live full lives through choice-making and goal realization.

Community Living

Here at RCI, we empower individuals with physical and mental challenges to actively participate in a rich array of family, community, leisure, and recreational activities, including:

• Community Engagement: We encourage our clients to be active members of their local communities, participating in events like fairs, festivals, dances, bingo nights, open-air concerts, and sporting events.
• Recreational Experiences: We provide access to memberships at esteemed facilities such as the YMCA, Cincinnati Nature Center, Cincinnati Zoo, and Newport Aquarium, allowing our clients to enjoy the wonders of nature and wildlife.
• Leisure Pursuits: Our clients have the opportunity to savor leisurely outings, which may include trips to the cinema, dining at restaurants, shopping excursions, library visits, casual strolls in the mall, serene moments in local parks, and moments of spiritual reflection at church.

We are deeply committed to integrating our clients into the community, and this commitment is at the heart of what we do.

Enjoy An Active Community Life

In each of our residential care homes, we create a welcoming family-style environment where individuals live with three to six peers.

Our dedicated, trained, and certified Direct Support Professionals provide continuous care and supervision. Residents actively engage in managing their living space, sharing responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, organizing, shopping, and laundry. This collective effort promotes a sense of shared responsibility and independence.

Regarding leisure activities, we prioritize individual preferences and offer a diverse range of options. Residents can choose from board games, jigsaw puzzles, arts and crafts, movie nights, card games, outdoor patio games, reading, and letter writing.

These choices promote social interaction, creative expression, mental stimulation, and physical activity. Our ultimate goal is to nurture a sense of community within the shared living space, ensuring a nurturing and inclusive environment where individuals can participate in activities they enjoy.
