Frequently Asked Questions

What is Supported Living?

In short, supported living is designed to give those with developmental and intellectual challenges the extra help they need to enjoy an independent lifestyle. This allows them to receive additional assistance for services such as cooking, cleaning, financial management, errands, personal care, and more. The process can include having a helper come in on a daily or weekly basis to an apartment or home the person is already living in or it can mean staying in a group setting with multiple individuals with similar situations.

How Does Supported Living Differ from Assisted Living?

Supported living and assisted living are typically two very different things. Situations that deem supported living are usually just those who need minimal supervision and can generally handle most tasks on their own. They also include situations where multiple persons living in a household need help with basic tasks. Assisted living facilities are similar, but generally reserved for seniors and those with significant medical challenges who need more health intervention.
