Since 2021, ReSOARces has been a Personal Services Agency that provides Community Guide Services for participants of Medicaid's Supports for Community Living (SCL) waiver who self-direct their own services.
Self-directing your own service means that you, as an individual with special needs, are able to use the SCL waiver to become an employer and hire your own staff of direct support professionals to support you in everyday life.
If you are an SCL participant who self-directs your own services, we can provide YOU with one of our Community Guides! A Community Guide is a 'human resources consultant' whose role is to specifically help you and your team best navigate all of the highs and lows of directing your own services. We empower you as an employer hiring your own staff, we help troubleshoot any issues you or your staff are facing, and we provide personalized support to ensure you receive the best services possible!
