What is Supported Living?

We bring comprehensive knowledge and proven experience to providing a person-centered, goal driven approach that is unique to each individual’s specific needs.

For adults with developmental disabilities living independently in the community, our Supported Living program provides options.

Staff members will work to ensure the health, safety and community fellowship of the individual they are caring for using resources within their own community. We have been providing this model of care for over 20 years.

How does it work?

A person can receive supported living services through Access Services indefinitely, with the appropriate funding, as long as there is need for the support or until the individual served feels they have achieved their own personal goals with the program.

Call your county case management to begin the process. Or call us directly to discuss private pay options.

This unique program contains the perfect combination of chemistry, character and competence from experienced and specially trained staff partnered with the individuals we serve to focus one-to-one on their personal needs and goals.
