Community Base Group Homes

A Community Group Home setting is a home setting embedded within the community where 1 to 3 individuals with an intellectual and/or developmental disability and other behavioral health impairments reside.  Skilled Omni staff members provide habilitation and behavioral supports to individuals on an ongoing basis.  The goal of this setting is to help provide an enriched life to individuals in a community setting that historically may otherwise have been served in institutions. 

How does it work?

Individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, mental health diagnosis, and other behavioral health impairments are referred to Omni Inventive Care Community Group Homes typically when the individual has high behavioral health needs that cannot be managed in a home setting.  Omni Inventive Care provides staff members to deliver ongoing support and habilitation.

Community Group Home Responsibilities

Residential Support Specialists are Omni employees that function as caregivers for individuals (adult or child) with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Residential Support Specialists are responsible for supervising, supporting, and guiding habilitation for the individual who is placed in the Community Group Home. Residential Support Specialists run individualized programming on a daily basis, including Behavior Support Plans and Habilitation Plans, as developed by Omni Inventive Care’s clinical team members. Omni staff members work collaboratively with the individual’s IPP team, which includes the DD Service Coordinator and guardian.  Omni provides reliable and on-time transportation of the individual to all appointments/meetings/work, etc. Residential Support Specialists complete online documentation on a daily basis.
