Group homes and sponsored placement services are usually paid for with a Medicaid waiver. The Community Living Waiver provides residential services. Supervised apartments can be funded through the Community Living Waiver or the Family and Individual Supports Waiver.

To get your loved one a Medicaid waiver, apply through a support coordinator. Find details on the process and phone numbers to apply in our Guide to Medicaid Waivers.

Intermediate Care Facilities are usually funded through the Department of Medical Assistance Services.

RACSB operates group homes which provide 24-hour intensive and structured support. 

Our group homes vary in size from four to six beds. Each home provides individualized support to adults with developmental disabilities, helping them to lead their best lives here in our community. 

Residents of our group homes receive  medication administration, help with daily living skills, healthy meals and snacks, recreation and trips, and personalized care based on their needs, wants, and interests. 

We operate 10 group homes in the City of Fredericksburg and the counties of Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania, and Stafford. 

We offer staff support at two apartment complexes in the Fredericksburg area. The supervised apartment program is ideal for adults with a developmental disability who can attain some level of independence but who need supervision and assistance with daily living skills.

Sponsored placement  is a residential service where an individual with a developmental disability lives in the home of a trained sponsor, who provides supervision, care, and support.

An intermediate care facility provides long-term support for individuals with developmental disabilities who have medical and/or behavioral needs. It provides a higher level of support than a group home. 

They were developed to provide the same level of care offered in training centers, so individuals with significant needs could be safely supported in the community. 

We operate three ICFs in our community, and each one is home to four individuals. 

Each individual receives customized care developed by an interdisciplinary team that includes direct support staff and medical professionals. They determine the necessary support and treatment that the individual needs and makes sure the  individual is as actively involved in the decision making process as possible.

Direct support professionals provide support and care to individuals with developmental disabilities. They help with daily living activities, act as caregivers, teach new skills, and promote independence. 

In our residential programs, DSPs provide a wide array of supports and can be found doing anything from helping with bathing to taking individuals on a fun vacation. 

We know it can be hard to trust someone else to care for your loved one with a developmental disability. We are honored when people choose us to care for their loved ones, and we don’t take that responsibility lightly. 

And we know that this can be a difficult transition–for the individual with developmental disabilities and their caregivers. That’s why we offer tours and visits for our group homes. We also offer our Myers Drive Respite Home, which provides temporary care for adults with developmental disaibilities. Myers guests stay for a few hours up to two weeks, which provides many opportunities to give residential services a “trial run.”
