Residential Services – Community Support Systems

Community Support Systems recognizes the need for a range of support levels to achieve residential success for individuals. We provide both 24-hour residential support in group homes and also intermittent support for individuals who choose to live independently or with their families.

Twenty-Four-Hour Support

Twenty-four-hour support is provided in Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) homes in Effingham, Teutopolis, and Dieterich. Our six homes offer private rooms with community spaces for family-style living. Four to eight individuals live together and actively pursue meaningful community involvement. Each individual works with their team to develop a plan outlining their personal choices and goals for a successful living experience.

We provide twenty-four-hour support and supervision, medication instruction and oversight, coordination of medical appointments, ongoing community involvement activities, transportation, and assistance with applying for and managing assistance programs and benefits.
