Residential Habilitation, often called Res Hab, is a home and community-based support service for people with physical disabilities and brain injuries, and is covered under the OBRA Waiver.

Support takes place in a home-style living apartment, not a hospital or nursing facility, where daily life skills are learned, practiced, and maintained.

Before comparing monthly totals for in-home care versus facility care, it is worth asking what level of care that price provides to your loved one.

Facility care combines living space and round the clock staffing into one cost. It is a commitment to a full level of care, regardless of how much support is actually used.

Home care is built around flexibility. Care is scheduled, adjusted, and expanded based on what your loved one needs now, not what they might need later.

That flexibility is what allows care to grow over time instead of requiring a single, all at once commitment.

“I feel indebted to their welfare. I feel happy when handling their daily needs.”

Ruth Odada, our employee of the month known affectionately as Mama Ruth, brings a warm heart to every shift.

She understands that caregiving is about dignity and empathy. In her personal time, Ruth enjoys tending to her home and reading the Bible. The care she gives to her own life shows up in how she cares for others.

We are proud to stand behind caregivers like Mama Ruth.
