Residential Services in Indiana: Supporting Independence, Choice, and Community

When families begin exploring residential services for a loved one with intellectual or developmental disabilities, they are often looking for more than a place to live. They are looking for a trusted partner that can provide personalized support, promote independence, and help individuals build meaningful lives in their communities.

At Sycamore Services, we believe every person deserves the opportunity to live where they choose, pursue their goals, and remain connected to the people and communities that matter most. As one of Indiana's leading providers of disability services, we offer a full range of Supported Living and Residential Habilitation services designed around the unique needs, preferences, and goals of each individual.

Sycamore Services provides support in a variety of living arrangements, including:

• Supported living in Sycamore-operated homes

• Supports in an individual's own home or apartment

• Community-based residential services

• Daily living and independent living skill development

• Personal care and health-related supports

• Transportation and community engagement

• Employment and volunteer opportunities

• Recreation and social connection

  
  

Our approach is person-centered, meaning supports are tailored to the individual's goals, interests, and desired level of independence.

Why Community-Based Supports Matter

Research continues to show the positive impact of home and community-based services (HCBS) for people with disabilities.

According to research from the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University, individuals who transition from institutional settings into community-based services experience improved quality of life, greater community participation, reduced depression, increased life satisfaction, and stronger feelings of dignity and respect. Studies also show that community-based supports can improve outcomes while reducing overall long-term care costs.

Additional research from KFF highlights that home and community-based services help individuals maintain independence, participate in community life, build relationships, and access employment opportunities while receiving the supports they need to succeed.

At Sycamore, we see these benefits every day. Community-based supports allow individuals to make choices about their lives, develop new skills, strengthen relationships, and actively participate in the communities they call home.

Investing in Highly Trained Direct Support Professionals

Exceptional services begin with exceptional employees.

Sycamore Services invests heavily in training and professional development to ensure our Direct Support Professionals and residential teams have the knowledge and skills needed to provide high-quality, person-centered care.

Our employees receive ongoing education in areas such as:

• Positive behavior support

• Person-centered planning

• Health and safety practices

• Medication administration

• Trauma-informed care

• Community integration

• Communication strategies

• Rights and advocacy

• Crisis prevention and intervention

  
  

We continuously evaluate best practices and emerging trends in disability services so that individuals and families can feel confident they are receiving support that reflects the latest standards and approaches in the field.
