Residential Home for the Developmentally Disabled

What Residential Home for the Developmentally Disabled does

Residential Home for the Developmentally Disabled (RHDD) is a 503(c) not-for-profit corporation founded in 1976 in Coshocton, Ohio, that provides residential, day, employment, and ancillary support services to adults with developmental disabilities across Southeastern Ohio. Its core programs include Residential Services (up to 24-hour in-home and community support), Adult Day Array (day habilitation and pre-employment training), Creative Employment Solutions (Employment First Certified career placement and retention), and Ancillary Services (home modifications and adaptive equipment). The organization is not a technology company; services are delivered by trained Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) operating from six regional offices spanning approximately 10 Ohio counties (Coshocton, Holmes, Athens, Muskingum, Guernsey, Washington, Meigs, Morgan, Noble, and Perry).

RHDD generates revenue through four streams, all categorized as recurring: Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) waiver programs (primarily the Individual Options/IO Waiver), Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) employment funding, Supported Living funding, and Private Pay. Access to the waiver-based streams requires certified provider status with Ohio state agencies, and RHDD is also OOD and Employment First Certified. The go-to-market model is direct, person-centered service delivery: individuals or their advocates contact regional offices, services are documented in Individualized Service Plans (ISPs), and staff are deployed into the individual's home, apartment, or community setting. RHDD markets primarily through its website (rhddinc.org), Facebook and Instagram, and referrals via DODD/OOD. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around government reimbursement rates plus private-pay arrangements.

The organization operates with 51–100 employees, is governed by a community-based Board of Directors under the oversight of DODD, and holds memberships in ANCOR and the Ohio Provider Resource Association (OPRA). RHDD pioneered Supported Living in Ohio through a mid-1980s pilot project and was an early adopter of the Medicaid Waiver system (OBRA, later replaced by the IO Waiver). The firm has no parent company, no subsidiaries, no disclosed funding rounds, and no M&A history.
