What DLS is
DLS is individualized residential support for an eligible adult living in a home the person owns, leases, or rents. Support is organized around the person’s assessed needs, preferences, risks, routines, goals, and authorized plan.
What DLS is not
DLS is not a group home, assisted-living facility, skilled-nursing service, or direct-to-consumer home-care package. Provider choice and service authorization are coordinated through Oklahoma DDS and the individual’s support team.
Planning a thoughtful DLS transition
When DLS is being considered, New Hope works with the individual, guardian when applicable, DDS case manager, and authorized support-team members. Conversations may include communication preferences, daily routines, safety and accessibility needs, staffing, housemate or compatibility considerations, documentation, and transition planning.
DLS eligibility and service parameters are governed by Oklahoma DDS/OHCA requirements and the person’s approved Plan of Care. Contact the individual’s case manager for eligibility and authorization questions.
