What Are Community Living Supports?
Community Living Supports (CLS) are flexible, hourly services delivered to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in their own home or in the community. Unlike residential programs, CLS does not involve the individual living in a provider-owned or operated setting. Vitalia comes to where the individual lives or supports them in the community — based entirely on what their ISP authorizes.
Services Include
Attendant Care
Hands-on assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs).
Skills Training
Structured support to build or maintain independent living skills — based on the individual’s ISP goals.
Relief Care
Temporary support to give primary caregivers a scheduled break, with continuity of care for the individual.
Community Access
Support for participation in community activities, errands, social connections, and engagement outside the home.
Who Is This For
Adults (18 and older) with intellectual or developmental disabilities who:
- Live in their own home, a family home, or another non-provider-owned setting
- Are eligible for Oregon ODDS developmental disabilities services
- Receive Medicaid through OSIPM or Healthier Oregon
- Have an ISP that authorizes Community Living Supports hours
