Supported Home Living Services
It is often best for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to maintain their current living arrangements, either in their own home or in their family’s home, rather than relocating to a residential group home, to avoid the impact and potential trauma which could result from a significant move or change in environment. While continuing to live in their current home may be the best option for many intellectually and developmentally disabled individuals, often that is not an option, because additional support and assistance would be needed.
To help individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities live as independently as possible, in their own home environment, we offer Supported Home Living Services to assist with the activities of daily living, such as eating, bathing, dressing, grooming and hygiene. The level and extent of Supported Home Living Services required for each individual varies greatly, and are tailored for each in their individual plan.
Supported Home Living Inclusions
The Supported Home Living services we offer are extremely flexible, in order to ensure our provision of services is responsive to the needs of the individuals we serve. While specific services are determined by the individual plan, our Supported Home Living services include assistance with meal planning and preparation, transportation to work and other activities, assistance with housekeeping, reinforcement of specialized therapy activities, encouraging inclusion in community activities, use of natural supports, social interaction, participation in leisure activities, and development of socially valued behaviors.
