We believe in the power of independence. Our Supported Living Services, including Independent Living Services, offer tailored support to help people with developmental disabilities achieve their personal goals and live fulfilling lives.
What is Supported Living?
Supported Living Services (SLS) empowers people with developmental disabilities to live independently in their own homes or apartments. With tailored supports designed to allow individuals to make choices, build relationships, and live on their own, they can embrace greater freedom and autonomy.
We create personalized support plans to help those supported achieve their goals.
