Compass Project: Service Groups

The service group framework uses information collected in a person's Oregon Needs Assessment to place them in a service group of people of a similar age and who have a similar level of need for support services. There are 14 service groups.

Service groups provide a consistent way to determine the number of monthly hours a person receives for services.
See the range of hours for each service group:
English, اللغة العربية, Русский, 简体中文, Soomaali, Español, Tiếng Việt
Service groups also guide how much a provider will be paid for their services.
They do not determine the type of services a person receives. The Individual Support Plan does this.
