About the Company

Welcome to Dungarvin Supported Living, formerly known as Acres.

At Dungarvin, we are more than a provider of support services—we’re a mission‑driven team rooted in respect, response, and choice. Since 1976, we’ve dedicated ourselves to meeting people where they are, providing person‑centered supports that allow individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and/or complex medical needs to live as independently as possible.

With services in 15 states, our team shares a commitment to making a real difference. Join us and embrace the opportunity to impact someone's life.

The DSP (Direct Support Professional) is responsible for providing direct support, hands‑on instruction, assistance, and positive direction to individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities, ensuring their health, safety, successful achievement of service objectives, and personal goals.

Our live‑in model allows for structure in an individual's home environment. The DSP will live in the individual's home during the 7 days on schedule and will be paid for 16 hours a day (minus any unpaid break time). Live‑in DSPs work approximately two weeks per month and earn full‑time pay plus overtime. Bi‑weekly compensation covers 105 hours, with 25 hours paid at a rate of time and a half.

DSPs are also paid for any interrupted sleep time, where applicable. A weekly food budget is provided during the week on, and there is one 7‑hour break during the scheduled shift.

All off time must be spent off location; the individual's home cannot be your primary residence.
