Begin The Journey With Confidence

OAC provides services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who meet state and federal eligibility criteria to qualify for  Intermediate Care Facility (ICF/IID) services.

We welcome individuals who:

• Have an intellectual or developmental disability diagnosed before age 18
• Have an IQ at or below 70
• Require 24-hour care, support, or supervision
• Are eligible for TennCare (Medicaid) 
• Benefit from structured routines and a family-centered residential environment

If you’re unsure whether your loved one qualifies, our admissions team can walk you through every step—from determining eligibility to completing state forms.

Life at OAC is guided by our belief that every individual deserves purpose, safety, and joy. Each day is built around routines that promote independence, learning, and community involvement.

Residents enjoy access to:

• Personalized care plans tailored to medical, emotional, and social goals
• 24/7 nursing and staff support
• Opportunities to participate in community events, day programs, and recreational activities
• Homes that promote both comfort and growth

OAC homes are warm, welcoming spaces where residents are encouraged to build friendships, develop life skills, and maintain meaningful connections with their families.

When choosing an Intermediate Care Facility (ICF/IID) provider, families should look for a balance of clinical excellence and personal connection. The right provider will prioritize safety, transparency, and collaboration with families.

At OAC, our approach is simple: we care for your loved one as we would our own. Our homes combine medical oversight, daily structure, and a team committed to supporting each individual’s goals. We partner with families and MCO admissions personnel to ensure smooth admissions, coordinated care, and long-term stability.

Checklist for Families:

• Is the environment safe, clean, and inviting?
• Are nurses and caregivers available around the clock?
• Are care plans individualized and reviewed regularly?
• Does the provider communicate clearly with families?
• Is there evidence of staff training?

Transitioning to a residential care setting can be emotional for both families and individuals. OAC is here to make that journey smoother. From the first conversation to move-in day, our admissions and nursing teams guide families through every detail.

We collaborate with schools, state agencies, and family members (conservators) to create a step-by-step plan that  promotes continuity, comfort, and confidence.

“Think of OAC like a bridge: a safe place where individuals can grow from dependence toward independence, surrounded by people who care as much as you.”
