Residential Services for People with Disabilities and Special Needs

In line with our commitment to enhancing the lives of local individuals with intellectual disabilities, autism, and head and spinal cord injuries, the Dorchester County Board of Disabilities and Special Needs offers a variety of residential services for people with disabilities and special needs in Dorchester County, SC. The goal of our residential programs and services is to provide invaluable support that promotes the well-being, safety, independence, and inclusion of such individuals in our local community, within a setting that offers a caring, compassionate environment.

Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/ID)

ICF/ID provides long-term residential services for people with disabilities and special needs, including intellectual disabilities and co-occurring medical and/or behavioral needs. Participants are supported in developing a person-centered plan of care to address their needs and desires across areas such as communication, financial management, mobility, self-care, and socialization. The ICF staff provides ongoing active treatment in accordance with the person’s individual service plans. They also offer a range of activities to encourage community integration and independence. Currently, there are two intermediate care facilities in Dorchester County serving 16 persons with disabilities and special needs.

Community Training Home II (CTH II)

CTH II provides 24-hour supervision and training with activities of daily living and independence. Each CTH II site has a coordinator who manages the facility. Currently, there are 22 local CTH II sites that serve 84 individuals with disabilities and special needs.

Supervised Living Program II (SLP II)

People with disabilities and special needs participating in SLPII are primarily independent in daily living activities. The level of staff supervision needed for daily living activities, such as money management, transportation, shopping, meal preparation, healthcare management, and social interactions, is determined on an individual basis.

Community Training Home I (CTH I)

CTH I is a licensed private home that provides 24-hour care for persons with disabilities and special needs who are deemed appropriate for care in a home/family environment. The private home is expected to provide training as well as care and supervision.

Supervised Living Program I (SLP I)

Individuals with disabilities and special needs receiving SLP I support are primarily independent and require only weekly assistance from staff. They live in apartments and homes throughout the county. Most often, these individuals need assistance with maintaining their health, managing their finances, and engaging in social and community activities.
