Residential
AccessPoint RI’s Residential program provides supportive living environments for individuals of differing abilities. These services promote community integration, independence and growth.
The program consists of a network of residential group homes, and semi-independent living arrangements. Depending on individual need, service hours range from four hours a week to twenty-four hours per day/seven days per week. Individuals receive assistance with daily living skills such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting, banking, recreational activities and transportation, as well as clinical and medical support. Individuals are encouraged to make choices that truly reflect their wants, needs and desires, while continuing to strive toward achieving goals and gaining independence.
Residential services are funded through the Rhode Island Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) and offered to individuals with developmental disabilities who are 21 and older. Individuals must meet DDD's eligibility requirements, and be deemed eligible for residential services by the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD).
Individualized planning is the basis of all support provided by AccessPoint. Each individual meets with his or her support team, family, friends and advocates to develop a plan for the upcoming year. Short and long-term goals are discussed. Each person’s goals are reviewed on an ongoing basis and modified to address the ever-changing wants and needs of the individual.
