ResCare Community Living

What ResCare Community Living does

ResCare Community Living is a U.S. provider of community-based support services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), founded in 1974 and headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. The company operates approximately 2,000 residential homes and delivers more than 100 million hours of service annually to roughly 60,000 individuals daily across 20+ states, including 250,000 medications administered each day. Its service portfolio spans home- and community-based services, adult foster care/host home programs, group homes, intermediate care facilities, supported employment and job placement, periodic and supported living services, day programs, and health and behavioral services delivered through its SpringHealth sub-brand.

The company's underlying technology is operational rather than algorithmic: a proprietary STARS quality-standards system (safety, trust, attitude, respect, skilled training) anchors care delivery, supplemented by care management tools that track client safety, satisfaction, home conditions, and regulatory compliance. A Home-Based Primary Care (HBPC) program has demonstrated a 57% reduction in hospital admissions for Ohio clients, and behavioral health services carry national BHCOE accreditation. CARF accreditation covers 800+ sites across the company's five largest states. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability layer; competitive advantage is built on regulatory credentials, scale, and workforce quality rather than software differentiation.

ResCare's revenue model is dominated by Medicaid-funded services delivered under managed-services arrangements with 148 state agencies, managed care plans, and payors, with a small private-pay layer. Go-to-market combines direct relationships with state Medicaid programs, partnerships with referral sources, and inbound family inquiries via a service request form. The company was sold by BrightSpring Health Services to Sevita for $835 million in a deal completed March 31, 2026, following a 14-month FTC review that required the divestiture of 128 intermediate care facilities to Dungarvin Group as an antitrust remedy.
