Frequently asked questions
A QIDP plays a crucial role by coordinating and tailoring personal futures plans that align with each individual’s needs. They ensure active participation from consumers and guardians, fostering personalized care that supports growth, independence, and well-being within disability services.
While a BA/BS in related fields is standard, obtaining state-specific certifications related to intellectual and developmental disabilities, combined with knowledge of California’s regulatory environment, greatly boosts employability and effectiveness in roles like those at ResCare Community Living.
QIDPs often focus more intensely on regulatory compliance and personal futures planning, including incident monitoring and service site oversight. Unlike broader disability case managers, QIDPs integrate supervisory duties and fiscal management within specialized developmental disability programs.
At ResCare, QIDPs engage deeply with community living supports and behavioral health frameworks, benefiting from a long-established infrastructure in disability services. The role emphasizes regulatory adherence and personalized care coordination within a supportive, experienced organizational culture.
ResCare offers structured guidance for QIDPs to implement and revise training programs, ensuring compliance with legal standards. This approach helps maintain high-quality service delivery and staff preparedness, crucial for addressing complex needs in intellectual and developmental disability care.
The salary for a QIDP at ResCare Community Living is approximately $68,640 annually, aligning well with regional expectations. This pay scale reflects the specialized skills required and San Luis Obispo’s moderate cost of living and demand for developmental disability professionals.
San Luis Obispo’s community-oriented environment offers strong support networks, but QIDPs may face challenges like limited specialized resources or competition for funding. However, the area’s commitment to inclusive services fosters rewarding professional experiences in developmental disability care.
Given San Luis Obispo’s spread-out geography, candidates often rely on personal vehicles due to limited public transit options. Proximity to ResCare Community Living locations and flexible scheduling can help manage commute times effectively for QIDPs.
Experience with developmental disabilities equips candidates with vital insights into behavioral patterns and care needs, enabling them to design effective personal futures plans and manage team coordination—key elements for success in a QIDP role at ResCare.
QIDPs at ResCare can advance into supervisory roles, program management, or specialized behavioral health positions. The company’s expansive disability services platform supports professional growth through continued education and leadership opportunities.
