Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Services
Our intellectual and developmental disabilities services in the Richmond, Roanoke, Fredericksburg, Alexandria and surrounding areas provide support to help children and adults reach their personal life goals. Each unique program is based on the needs of the individual seeking our services. We work with adults and children to build the skills they need to become more independent and reach their highest potential as a member of the community.
At Dominion Care, we offer group day services, coaching through our independent living services, workplace assistance, support through our center-based activity locations and in-home supports.

Group Day Services- ages 18+
Group Day Services include a community and center-based day support program tailored for individuals with disabilities. This program empowers our individuals to achieve their desired life through person centered planning and positive behavioral support.
We create an environment that promotes health and safety, while challenging individuals to build new life skills and job skills and become active community members. Each person’s journey is different, and surrounding them with a supporting community allows them to thrive independently and as part of a larger group growing together.
Our program uses the community as the teaching tool to further enhance their quality of life. While participating in the program, individuals will enjoy activities such as:
- swimming
- volunteering for the community
- out-of-town trips such as Washington, D.C. and Virginia Beach
- monthly social events
In-Home Supports, ages 6+
In-Home Supports promote real-world independence through one-to-one skill training ranging from relationship building to money management to safety.
We strongly encourage family and agency involvement to help make and maintain a good match between the individual and their assigned counselor. Once a counselor is in place, he or she works diligently to have a seamless, impactful integration into the individual’s life day in and day out.

Independent Living, ages 18+
Independent Living services is designed for individuals 18 and up who strive to attain more autonomy with in-home support. After learning about the individual’s specific needs, our trained service coordinators and direct support professionals develop and implement a personalized plan to help them reach their goals and live the life they want to lead. Our focus is on securing a self-sustaining, independent living environment in the community for all of our independent living individuals.
Community Engagement, ages 18+
Community Engagement services help individuals 18 and up to be included within their broader community by offering opportunities to grow naturally supportive relationships with people who live, work and/or volunteer in their local area.
Community Engagement’s small 1:3 staff member to individual ratio enables access to their community with typical day-to-day activities the general population encounters regularly. This builds confidence and social skills for individuals through natural relationships with community members so they can advocate for themselves more effectively.
Community Coaching, ages 18+
Community Coaching services are a 1:1 version of our Community Engagement program. Community Coaching helps individuals 18 and up to be included within their broader community by offering opportunities to grow naturally supportive relationships with people who live, work and/or volunteer in their local area.
Through a ratio of one staff member to one individual (1:1), we offer an even more personalized structure that enables access to an individual’s community with typical day-to-day activities the general population encounters regularly. This builds confidence and social skills for individuals through natural relationships with community members so they can advocate for themselves more effectively.
Workplace Assistance, ages 18+
Workplace Assistance services are for employed individuals 18 and up who require specialized on the job assistance with non-job related needs in order to be successful and maintain their employment. We empower individuals by giving them the tools they need to become an independent, actively employed member of the community. Any needs the individual has while working are addressed through this program, such as providing assistance with activities of daily living, managing behaviors or emotions, taking medications, and other skills.
