Supported Living services help adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities live in community-based settings while receiving the assistance necessary to manage daily life safely and effectively. This service is commonly used by individuals who want to maintain greater independence but benefit from ongoing support with certain responsibilities, routines, or decision-making activities. The level of assistance is tailored to each person’s living situation, goals, and support needs.
How It Works:
The service is planned and delivered according to the individual’s living arrangements and support requirements:
- An assessment is completed to identify the supports needed for successful community living.
- Individual goals, preferences, and daily living needs are incorporated into a person-centered support plan.
- Service schedules and support levels are established based on authorized services and identified needs.
- Support may involve coordination with family members, guardians, or other members of the individual’s support network.
- Regular reviews help determine whether supports should be modified as circumstances change.
What to Expect
Individuals receive assistance with managing aspects of daily living while maintaining as much independence and personal choice as possible. Support is provided in a way that encourages participation in household responsibilities, community involvement, and personal decision-making. As needs evolve over time, services may be adjusted to continue supporting the individual’s goals and living arrangements.
