Residential Services
Individuals, along with their family members and caregivers, choose their homes based on available openings from providers throughout the community. In our homes, residents live together as an extended family. Many CICL residents have shared their homes and lives together for decades.
Choices In Community Living is the residential provider of choice for over 300 individuals in Butler, Clark, Madison, Montgomery and Preble counties.
Residential Service Types
Some individuals have been a part of our extended family since we began in 1985. Learn more about our homes to find out why.
We own and operate many homes, and provide staffing and services in homes and apartments with external owners. Our homes and services are licensed and certified by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities.
Home Types
Interim Care Home
Choices is a partner of the Montgomery County Board of Developmental Disabilities Services, and the service provider for Montgomery County’s Interim Care Home. We provide care for individuals during emergencies—such as the illness or death of caregivers, or abuse and neglect—until they find their permanent home.
Monitored Living
- We provide residential support in our Monitored Living program to individuals who have identified independent living as one of their goals. Monitored Living supports individuals living in their own apartments or with a roommate in integrated community settings.
- Staff working in apartment complexes are available to provide support to individuals as requested or needed. Support is offered in such areas as budgeting, health care, shopping, recreation and more.
Semi-Independent Living
Our Semi-Independent Living program offers essential support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are striving for independent living. We understand that while they seek self-sufficiency, there are specific areas where they may require assistance. Our program is designed to provide precisely that support, empowering them to lead fulfilling lives while maintaining their autonomy.
Group Home
Our Group Homes offer both housing and a supportive environment for individuals living alongside others in a communal setting.
