OSCIL is Rhode Island's
Center for Independent Living
The Independent Living Philosophy advocates for the rights and dignity of people with disabilities, emphasizing their autonomy, self-determination, and full inclusion in society. It seeks to remove barriers and provide support services that enable individuals with disabilities to lead independent lives, make their own choices, and participate actively in all aspects of life. As Rhode Island's sole Independent Living Center, OSCIL is ready to help all Rhode Islanders of any age with any disability live their best lives.

What Our Consumers Say
You guys at OSCIL do a great job and the staff comes up with great ideas! Just love you guys!
I can get to and from my bedroom independently with the lift and got my privacy back!
This agency is amazing - so helpful and has made a big improvement in my self-care, being able to take showers more easily due to the tub cut out!
The services provided allowed me to continue living independently in my own home and not in a nursing home!
