For the people we serve, living in the community is a powerful statement, a monumental accomplishment, a huge step toward independence, and a part of every day life.

Having a home to call one’s own is of tremendous importance. It symbolizes completeness, maturity, and independence. For most of us, the defining moment of independence is when we leave the nest, move out, and live on our own. This is even more true of the people served by ROI; for them, living in the community is not just a powerful statement, a monumental accomplishment, and a huge step toward independence, but also a part of every day life. It’s a goal we work hard to help people achieve.

Help Where It’s Needed With ROI’s Supported Living Alternatives (SLA) program, people with severe disabilities are living more independent lives in the community in homes they own or rent. Trained, qualified ROI staff provide assistance where it is needed to ensure the greatest degree of independence possible. Whether it’s providing transportation, dispensing medication, assisting with a bath, arranging a doctor’s appointment, or helping with simple housework, ROI’s SLA staff are here to help it happen.

Community is More Than a Place
We are dedicated to the concept of community inclusion. That means we work as advocates, facilitators, and liaisons to help the people we serve become active and respected in the larger community. This approach and attitude is part of everything we do.

ROI’s Supported Living program is well-known in western Michigan for quality, safety, and caring. We’ve earned both a reputation in our community and accreditation from CARF, the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission. More than just people who "stop by", we are at-home care professionals.

Dedicated, Quality Staff
ROI offers staff who are well supervised and trained in the areas of CPR, First Aid, Medication Administration, Behavior Management, person centered planning and much more. Every member of the ROI staff undergoes a criminal history background check and driving record check. Our staff is dedicated, committed to providing quality services and eager to help meet the needs of the families we serve.
