SUPPORTED LIVING SERVICES FOR ADULTS
WITH INTELLECTUAL OR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
411-328-0550
Statement of Purpose
(1) The rules in OAR chapter 411, division
328 prescribe standards for providers that support individuals with intellectual
or developmental disabilities in a supported living setting.
(2) Supported living provides
the opportunity for an individual to live in the residence of his or her choice
within the community with recognition that the needs and preferences of the individual
may change over time. The levels of support for the individual are based upon individual
needs and preferences as identified in a functional needs assessment and defined
in an Individual Support Plan. Such services may include up to 24 hours per day
of paid supports that are provided in a manner that protects the dignity of the
individual.
(3) These rules ensure that
providers meet basic management, programmatic, health and safety, and human rights
regulations for adults receiving services funded by the Department in supported
living settings. The provider is responsible for developing and implementing policies
and procedures that ensure that the requirements of these rules are met and ensuring
services comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
