Residential Habilitation and Support (RHS) with Kompassionate Care Services
Caring for a loved one with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) is both a responsibility and a calling. Through Indiana’s Community Integration and Habilitation (CIH) Waiver, families can now access Residential Habilitation and Support (RHS)—a program that not only provides essential services but also allows family caregivers to be compensated for the care they give.
At Kompassionate Care Services, we believe family should never have to choose between caring for a loved one and making ends meet. That’s why we champion paid-family-caregiver programs and lead Indiana in directing the highest percentage of reimbursement dollars directly to caregivers. We minimize administrative costs through efficiencies of scale and smart business practices—but more importantly, we do it because we believe in consumer-directed, community-based caregiving.
Paid Family Caregivers: The Heart of RHS
One of the most important features of RHS is that it allows family members to serve as Direct Support Professionals (DSPs). This means relatives can step in to provide not only hands-on daily care but also habilitation—teaching, supporting, and guiding loved ones toward greater independence.
- Who Can Be Paid?
- Adult children, siblings, or other relatives can qualify as caregivers. Guardians and spouses may also provide support, though caregiver hours for legally responsible individuals are capped.
- Compensation:
- Through Kompassionate Care Services, caregivers can expect the highest percentage of reimbursement in Indiana—far above industry averages. Our model is designed to put money where it belongs: in the hands of those delivering the care.
By valuing families as key partners, RHS gives loved ones the stability of care they know and trust, while offering caregivers the financial recognition they deserve.
What Services Are Included in RHS?
Residential Habilitation and Support goes beyond personal care. Under the CIH Waiver, services are tailored to each individual’s needs and Individualized Support Plan (ISP). These may include:
- Daily Living Skills: Help with cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, and transportation.
- Personal Care: Assistance with bathing, dressing, meals, and mobility.
- Skill Development: Teaching independence, self-advocacy, and community integration.
- Health & Safety Support: Monitoring wellness, assisting with appointments, and supporting behavior or health plans.
- Community Participation: Encouraging engagement in work, recreation, and social activities.
With Kompassionate Care Services coordinating RHS, families have the assurance that skilled needs are properly arranged through medical providers while our non-medical aides and family caregivers handle the essential daily and habilitation support.
