Supported Living

The Program

Our Supported Living  Program is an unlicensed community residential habilitation service provided in an individual's private residence. This program is long-term for individuals who are 18 years of age or older and who need a yearly average of 30 hours or less direct care staff contact per week.

Our Supported Living Program is an excellent choice for individuals who are on the road to independence. Supported Living offers 24-hour access to direct care staff. The staff focuses on each participant's strengths and needs, while respecting individual choice and building a sense of independence.
