Given the choice, most people want to stay in their homes. Sometimes, people need help to remain at home.

In-Home Personal Care Services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that cannot easily be provided by their families or friends.

When health issues prevent them from performing simple tasks, impair their mobility, or put their safety and well being at risk, their options may be limited. Some may move in with family members. Some go to nursing homes. Those who do not qualify for public assistance and cannot afford private care often face a serious struggle for independence. That is where Family Service Association steps in to lend a gentle hand.

Older adults who have the ability to remain independent in their own homes with the assistance of supportive services may receive up to 10 hours of direct service each week in the home for personal care and home assistance, including the following:

• Meal planning and preparation
• Light housekeeping,
• Assistance with the daily activities associated with living at home, such as bathing, dressing and grooming, washing and combing hair.

A complete evaluation and assessment is conducted on the first home visit, with on-going supervision at least every 90-days. Follow up visits are scheduled to monitor client needs and to ensure continued appropriateness of services.

An excellent investment, the program can serve 100 clients for less than it would cost to care for 10 patients in an alternate care setting, for the same one-year period.

Services are offered on a sliding fee scale that is based on the client’s ability to pay.

Funding is provided by United Way, Client Fees, and Private Foundations and Corporations.

Mission Road Developmental Center provides residential care for adults with intellectual and other developmental disabilities through the ICF (Intermediate Care Facility) program and the HCS (Home and Community-Based Services) programs.

Mission Road has 16 adult community homes throughout the city of San Antonio and one assisted living home on the main Mission Road campus for adults. Residents living in the homes are assisted by well-trained, 24-hour AWAKE staff. During the week, residents spend their day working, training for a job, volunteering or engaging in a social/habilitation program. Evenings are spent acquiring and refining the skills needed to live a more independent and fulfilled life. Weekends are for shopping, completing chores, recreational activities and spending time with friends.

Apartments

The goal of the program is to provide supportive services to optimize the independence and productivity of the adults in an affordable living arrangement.

It can be confusing to find help for older adults and people with disabilities. Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) are part of the No Wrong Door system, which is designed to streamline public access to long-term services and supports (LTSS).

ADRCs serve as a key point of access to person-centered LTSS specialized information, referral and assistance and provide one-stop access to information for people who need help finding LTSS.

ADRCs help cut through the confusing maze of funding sources, multiple intake systems, and eligibility processes.

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) is a Medicaid waiver program that provides services and support to individuals with intellectual disability disorders (IDDs), so they can continue to live with family or independently.

These services can be provided in your own home, your family's home, a foster care home where you live with another family, or a home in the community where the individual lives with two or three other people.

Please call or text 210-273-8016 for more information.

Proof of income is required.

Personal care home services start at $1600.00 on a sliding scale.

Transitional housing, offered for both men and women at separate locations, starts at $800.00 on a sliding scale.

HCS facilities are 3- or 4-bed group homes that are available through the Home and Community Services Medicaid waiver program which is certified and licensed by the state. Individuals must be diagnosed with an intellectual disability and have an IQ of 75 or below with a related condition.

We also serve individuals who live on their own in an apartment setting.

Private pay option: Individuals with developmental disabilities who do not have Medicaid funding can pay privately for services in a 3-bed or 4-bed group home. We also serve individuals who live on their own in apartment settings.

Adults with developmental disabilities can choose to live in a foster home with a family member or other individual as their foster care provider.

RMI contracts with the foster care provider to assist with daily living skills, personal care, transportation, and other activities that allow the client to live as independently as possible in a safe and supportive environment.

To apply to be a Foster Care Provider contact Manny Vela.

Funding for foster care is covered by the Home and Community-Based Services (HSC) Medicaid program.

Individuals who do not qualify or are waiting for HCS funding may pay privately to live in a foster home.

ICF facilities are 6-bed group homes funded by Medicaid. These homes are certified and licensed by the state to provide a full range of training and care to individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities.

ICF group homes include:

• Therapy
• Nutritional and dietary supports
• Behavior supports
• Medical and dental supports that are not funded by Medicaid
• Active training to master new skills

This program is for individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities (IDD).

All services are paid by Medicaid and personal income is managed by the provider, representative payee, or the client themselves. If the client works, a percentage of earnings is refunded to Medicaid. SSDI (Social Security Disability Income) funds can continue with a percentage repaid Medicaid.

RMI's Semi-Independent Apartment program gives adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities the ability to live in the community with more freedom and more responsibility. Residents in this program lease their own apartment and pay their own expenses. They may choose to live by themselves or share an apartment with a roommate.

At San Mateo Apartment Homes, Waters at Elm Creek and other apartment communities in San Antonio, RMI residents work, play, shop and worship with others in their neighborhoods. With ongoing support from RMI staff, residents are able to meet the everyday challenges of living independently.

Individuals with developmental disabilities can get support services that allow them to live as independently as possible with their family or in their own home.

RMI staff provide assistance with housekeeping, meal preparation, medication, personal care, transportation and other independent living activities. 

The time spent providing services each week is based on the needs of the client and their family. Supported Home Living services can be funded through the Home and Community Based Services (HCS) Medicaid program. Individuals who do not qualify or are waiting for HCS funding may private pay for these services.

Host Home/Family Model/Family Home Providers support and assist individuals with daily living skills and other individual needs in a manner similar to the residential program, however, this service is provided in the caregiver’s personal home.

Living with a family is a good choice for many people with developmental disabilities and can be a rewarding and meaningful experience for all those involved. A warm and caring family environment not only allows more relaxed schedules and increased independence, but also develops close bonds and establishes valuable relationships that will last a lifetime.

D&S is committed to individuals in Host Home/Family Model/Family Home by always providing:

• The utmost respect and courtesy regarding individual needs to create compatible placement options
• Pre-screened and trained Providers selected by the individual or his/her guardian/conservator
• A dedicated team of local professionals to provide guidance and facilitate the provision of all supports needed
• Scheduled activities for individuals and their host families

Sometimes, the best environment for individuals needing support is in their homes or with family. D&S, the local Siveta provider, offers hourly support to help individuals live independently in their home environment. The time spent providing services each week is based on the individual's and their family's needs.

D&S Home and Community-Based Services:

• Transportation to work, appointments, and other activities
• Housekeeping
• Dressing and personal hygiene
• Meal preparation and eating
• Medication administration (as permitted)
• Community activities and outings

In addition, D&S provides Respite Care, which allows primary caregivers a break from their regular caregiving duties.

Our treatment approach is geared to improve quality of life, slow the rate of disease progression, and decrease the need for medication.
