ResCare

What ResCare does

ResCare Community Living, founded around 1980 and headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, is a US provider of community living services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The company operates approximately 2,000 residential homes nationwide, delivers more than 100 million hours of service annually, and administers roughly 250,000 medications each day to a behaviorally complex population with multiple chronic conditions and co-morbidities. On average, its clients spend 359 days per year in home-like settings rather than institutional care. The company employs 10,000+ staff across a national footprint.

ResCare's service platform is organized into eight lines: Home and Community-Based Services, Adult Foster Care / Host Home Program, Group Homes, Intermediate Care Facilities, Supported Employment and Job Placement, Periodic and Supported Living Services, Day Programs and Activities, and Health and Behavioral Services. Care is delivered through company-operated residential homes and through a network of recruited Host Home Providers who open their family homes to IDD clients. Sales motion combines a web-driven "Request Services" intake funnel with outreach to host-home providers, while careers and recruiting now run through the parent's Sevita jobs portal. The company is also an ANCOR Proud Partner, signaling alignment with the leading US trade association for IDD service providers.

Revenue is generated through managed-services contracts, primarily state Medicaid HCBS waivers and ICF/IID reimbursements, with private-pay arrangements layered on top. ResCare Community Living is a subsidiary of Sevita, acquired as part of the parent's platform strategy; the ResCare brand continues to operate within the Sevita family. The company discloses no proprietary technology platform, mobile app, or API; delivery is fundamentally a labor-intensive, regulated healthcare services business.
