Residential Support Services

Community Residential Rehabilitation (CRR)

This service provides four levels of support and service intensity which are medically required by an adult to remain in a community-based residence. The goals of the service are to restore and develop skills in functional areas which interfere with consumer’s ability to live in the community, to support the person to live independently, and to support the person to independently participate in social, interpersonal or community activities.

Activities that are considered necessary to remain in the community include, but are not limited to: supporting housing retention (such as crisis coping skills, dispute resolution and peer mentoring); building and maintaining independent living skills (such as meal planning and preparation, household cleaning, shopping, budgeting, community resource access and utilization and wellness, recreational and social activities); providing support to access and attend mental health, medical, dental and substance abuse appointments and treatment; providing support to access and follow – through with medical and nonmedical transportation; to develop and support the maintenance of social relationships which provide natural supports to prevent escalation of symptoms into crisis situations; and monitoring and/ or directly providing personal care services. All recovery-building activities are intended to support successful community living through utilization of skills training, cuing and/ or guided supervision as identified in the person-centered service plan.

This service does not include care or treatment in an Institute for Mental Diseases.
