Support

Our focus is on offering a full range of services that allow people with physical or developmental disabilities the ability and knowledge to live a full, rewarding and productive life.

Some of our direct services are provided by in house staff and are considered direct services. For other individual support services we provide full assistance, support, management, transportation etc. while working with outside service providers. Our Direct Services are designed to help our community members with the basic activities of daily living including dressing, eating, walking, toileting, bathing, cleaning, and other types of basic care that allow people to lead more independent lives.

Our Individual Case Management helps specify the type of services and support each of our community members need and desire. We meet with the person and those active in their life, discuss their hopes and dreams. A plan is then developed that outlines how we will assist them to reach their goals.

The supports that Oahe, Inc. provides are designed for a specific individual. Some examples of services provided include:

Residential Supports:

Whether someone lives on their own, with family, or with roommates, we can assist with daily activities. This may include assistance with personal cares, cleaning, meal preparation, medication administration or supervision.
