Community Support Systems recognizes the need for a variety of levels of support for 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 Effingham, Teutopolis, and Dieterich in Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) homes. Our six homes offer private rooms with community spaces for family-style living. Four to eight individuals reside together and enjoy community involvement together. Each individual works with his/her 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 activities for community involvement, transportation, and help with applying for and managing assistance programs and benefits.
