Spend time in the homes getting to know each person’s routines, interests, relationships, and goals. Ask what they want, advocate for their choices, and help staff put those choices into practice. Coach through everyday experiences. Work alongside DSPs to help each person build skills at their own pace, from grooming and personal care to planning meals, managing a household, making purchases, and using a debit card. Support a healthy lifestyle. Ensure each person receives the support they need with medication administration and appointments, as well as support staff in providing healthcare supports. Make room for fun. Help each person build a social calendar around the people they want to see and the things they want to do. Arrange the support to make it happen, whether that’s hosting a game night, attending a local event, or trying something new. Lead a team people can trust. Hire, train, supervise, and evaluate DSPs. Lead staff meetings where people can raise concerns, share ideas, and leave knowing who will do what. Give clear feedback, recognize good work, and help staff grow. Keep the homes running well. Maintain a safe, clean, welcoming environment. Manage household budgets and supplies, keep documentation accurate and timely, and follow agency policies, safety standards, and state regulations. Be a steady presence. Provide hands-on and on-call support when questions or concerns arise.
