Independent Living Support
Support in Your Own Apartment
Our Independent Living Services (ILS) offer the freedom of living in your own apartment, with personalized support available when you need it. Many individuals choose this option to enjoy greater independence while still receiving help with daily tasks.
You rent your own apartment—on your own or with a roommate—and receive a set number of support hours each week. Staff visit at scheduled times based on your needs, and 24/7 emergency support is always available. If you have a roommate, you can share staff or each have your own—it's all about what works best for you.
Support hours can be used for things like:
• Budgeting and managing bills
• Grocery shopping and meal planning
• Finding or keeping a job
• Transportation and appointments
• Building friendships and social skills
• Connecting with local community resources
With ILS, you choose your staff, create a schedule that fits your lifestyle, and get the tools to build independence and confidence—all with the support you need to thrive.
“The supported living programs provide safe, affordable housing… The persons served have easy access to supports, services, and employment opportunities, and there is a focus on community inclusion.
The staff members are flexible in how they support the persons served and work hard to accommodate their wants and needs. The persons served know how to reach out in the event of emergencies and how to maintain independence and safety.”
