Welcome to Ohio At Home

Welcome to Ohio At Home. You're on our home page. This audio guide is part of Ohio At Home's built-in accessibility features. Ohio At Home supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, at home and in the community. The page opens with the words, Live Independently, Feel Supported. The artwork shows a person seated in a wheelchair beside a standing companion. They are near a bright blue river, surrounded by dark blue trees, pink hills, and an orange sun. This is an illustrated scene. As we explore the page, you'll hear about the support options and ways to get started. The opening scene can play as a silent animation or remain a still image, depending on your motion preferences. You can pause or play it with the animation control.

What matters in everyday support

The first part of the page describes three priorities. Compassionate people means people who listen to your preferences and get to know your routines. Thoughtful technology means tools that keep you connected with your support team. Your life, your choices means shaping support around your goals, choices, and everyday life.

Three support options

There are three service options to explore. Remote Support connects you with the team through check-ins and agreed monitoring tools. Your support plan sets the service hours, equipment, and steps for getting help. Remote Support is available across Ohio where the setup and response plan can meet your needs. Hybrid Support combines in-person help with Remote Support at different points in your day. The mix is planned around your routines, goals, and authorized support. Direct Support provides hands-on help with daily routines, personal care, and community activities. Staff support your choices and help you practice the skills that matter to you.

Everyday life, shared together

The next section is called Everyday Life, Shared Together. It focuses on time at home, shared meals, and connections with other people. Three photographs accompany this idea. In the first, a woman in a green shirt smiles at a kitchen table, with a refrigerator covered in pictures behind her. In the second, two people smile in a kitchen while holding a spoon and a spatula. In the third, two people sit together on a living-room couch.
