Champaign Residential Services Inc. recognizes the individuality of each consumer. Therefore, personal choice remains the most important consideration and determines all supports which surround the life of the consumer. Service supports range from assistance with daily living skills to social/recreational experiences and advocacy for the rights of individuals with disabilities. Trained staff are prepared to provide services in Medicaid certified ICF/MR funded homes, in addition to individualized support in either a Supported Living or Community Based Waiver environment.
Accessing Services
Often there are many questions about how to access developmental disability services. This brochure serves as a brief outline of where to go and what to expect.
Residential Options
Home/Community Based Waiver (HCBW)/(Individual Options Waiver)
This is the largest expanding federal/state Medicaid service. Individuals with developmental disabilities who are Medicaid eligible may choose their supports, such as, staff, transportation and settings.
Supported Living Services
CRSI offers individuals choices as to where they may live in their own homes or with family, using staff supports that allow for individual choices and decision-making. As with all of CRSI's supports/programs, this is truly consumer-driven. This is a totally state funded program with eligibility based on requirements set forth by each county board of developmental disabilities.
Intermediate Care Facility/Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR)
CRSI offers individuals to live in Intermediate Care Facilities for the Mentally Retarded. This setting offers high quality residential living in a shared setting, where individuals are supported with medical, transportation, program and other intensive services available to meet the specialized health needs of individuals with developmental disabilities.
Consumer Advocacy
A prime example of CRSI's proactive, consumer-driven services is our Consumer Advocacy Department, staffed by a full time Consumer Advocate who is an individual with a disability familiar with available supports and services. Consumer Satisfaction Surveys are performed by this department to assess the satisfaction of services provided by CRSI. The Consumer Advocacy staff works closely with the QA Department to ensure that CRSI follows up with any stated concerns and requests resulting from consumer satisfaction surveys. A follow-up quality of life survey is being developed to aid in assessing consumer satisfaction and providing input for the agency on areas our services should focus.
The Consumer Advocacy Director is responsible for the oversight of the advocacy and the UI/MUI process thus ensuring the health and safety of all consumers served.
