Shared Living
Continuous Care While Living in a Family Home Setting
Ohio Shared Living (OSL) is a residential service option that allows individuals to receive continuous care and support while living in a family home setting. The Goals of OSL are to enhance community integration for the person served and reduced turnover in the person’s life, subsequently enhancing service continuity and relationships.
Once known as “Adult Foster Care,” OSL is a flexible and completely personalized residential service option available through Individual Options Waiver.
In order to receive OSL services, a person must be eligible for Medicaid and the County Board must authorize funding. You must also meet the following requirements:
- Diagnosed by the age of 22 with a developmental disability
- Have substantial functional limitations in at least three of these areas: self-care, mobility, learning, capacity for independent living, and understanding and the use of language
