Roscommon Disability and Support Group Clg

County Roscommon Disability Support Group CLG (RSG) provides a broad range of care and support services mainly to people with physical and/or sensory disabilities, older people and children throughout County Roscommon and surrounding areas. In recent years care service provision has expanded into Home Care Support Services for older persons in the greater CHO2 area via the Care Group West Consortium through successful HSE tendering. RSG’s Day Resource Service facilitates the delivery of structured activities Monday to Friday weekly to people with disabilities on a person-centred basis with the freedom to choose the service operating under the HSE New Directions Programme.  RSG creates pathways for community integration for the service user, ensuring their needs are met through services and activities which reflect all aspects of daily living. Service provision in the community is largely funded by HSE Section 39 funding and some aspects of the care are supported by Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (DEASP) Community Employment (CE) Scheme. RSG’s Flexible Learning College established in 2006 provides person centred training and flexible learning for people with mixed abilities and since 2010 is a QQI accredited training provider delivering Healthcare Support Modules.
