For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, taking part in everyday life can involve different levels of support, from managing routines at home to developing practical skills and participating in activities within the community.

Support should reflect each individual’s abilities, preferences, assessed needs, and authorized service plan. The right approach may focus on assistance at home, skill development beyond the home, or working toward greater independence in everyday activities.
Explore Available Virginia Service Options
Elites Care lists three Virginia services that individuals and families can explore when considering developmental disability support. Each has a different focus, and suitability depends on the individual’s circumstances and applicable authorization.
DD Supportive In-Home
Some individuals benefit from assistance with daily activities while continuing to live at home. DD Supportive In-Home is an option for eligible individuals whose authorized service plans include this type of support.
The assistance provided should reflect the person’s assessed needs, daily routines, and approved goals.
Non-Center-Based Day Support
Opportunities to practice skills and participate in activities outside the home can form part of an individual’s support plan. Non-Center-Based Day Support may help eligible individuals work toward these goals without relying on a traditional center-based setting.
The specific activities and supports depend on the applicable service requirements and the individual’s authorization.
Independent Living Support
Building independence can involve practicing everyday skills, establishing routines, and learning to manage appropriate daily responsibilities. Independent Living Support is an option for eligible individuals whose goals and authorized plans align with this type of service.
Families and support coordinators can discuss the individual’s goals and determine whether this service may be suitable.
Choosing Support That Matches Individual Goals
The most appropriate service depends on what the individual needs help with and what they want to accomplish. When exploring options in Roanoke, consider the following:
- Support at home: Does the individual need assistance with everyday activities or routines in their home?
- Skills and community activities: Would structured support outside the home help the individual work toward personal goals?
- Everyday independence: Are there practical living skills the individual wants to strengthen?
- Service authorization: Are the requested services included in the individual’s approved plan?
- Provider availability: Can the agency accommodate the individual’s support requirements and preferred schedule?
Discussing these questions with the individual’s support coordinator and prospective provider can help clarify the available options.
