DIDD Services
Home and community support for Tennesseans with disabilities
Resource One delivers DSP personal assistance and LPN skilled nursing under ECF CHOICES and the legacy 1915(c) HCBS waivers — with a focus on community integration and consistent, person-centered staffing.
Finding a DIDD provider with enough DSPs to staff your loved one's plan — and keep the same people on the schedule — has gotten harder every year. Turnover disrupts routines that took months to build.

Common questions about DIDD Services
How do I get enrolled in ECF CHOICES or the 1915(c) waiver?
Enrollment is through DIDD Regional Intake — West TN at (866) 372-5709. Eligibility requires an intellectual disability with onset before 18 or a developmental disability with onset before 22, plus a functional assessment. The intake team walks you through the application.
Can I request Resource One as my DIDD provider?
Yes. Once enrolled, you can choose any approved provider. Let your ISC (Independent Support Coordinator) know you want Resource One and we'll coordinate from there.
What's the difference between a DSP and a CNA?
DSPs (Direct Support Professionals) focus on skill-building, community integration, and ADL support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. CNAs provide similar personal care under a more clinical, nursing-oriented framework. Many of our staff are qualified for both roles.
Can you provide both personal assistance and skilled nursing?
Yes. Our team includes LPNs for skilled nursing (medication administration, wound care, vitals monitoring, physician-ordered interventions) alongside DSPs for personal assistance. We coordinate both on one care plan.
How do you handle DSP turnover?
DSP turnover is the biggest frustration in disability services. Our community-based model — DSPs working near where they live — materially reduces it. We also prioritize a small, consistent team per member rather than rotating new faces in.
