RESIDENTIAL SUPPORTS

Individualized Supported Living

This model of residential support provides persons with development disabilities the opportunity to live in a shared space arrangement. Typically, 2 or 3 persons with developmental disabilities are placed together as roommates sharing a common living space. These individuals are supported by trained staff that rotate shifts with other staff on a daily basis.

HOST HOME

This model of residential support allows a person with developmental disabilities to integrate into a family environment. Persons with developmental disabilities move in with a host home family and share in the daily activities and responsibilities of the family unit while being supported by that particular family in their home.
