What is "Supported Living?"

Supported Living is an environment where an individual with disabilities is assisted to live independently of an institution. The home may be an apartment unit or a single family house. The individual is encourged and assisted to learn increased independence in life skills at home and in community involvement, as well. These life skills may include banking and budgeting skills, household skills such as cooking and cleaning, community interaction skills, grooming and hygiene skills, etc. Support may be provided for specific hours less than 24 or for a full 24 hours depending on need and/or program.

Can a family member of an individual receiving services be employed by you at the home the relative lives in?
In general, our policy prohibits the employment of relatives at sites where they have a family member residing. However, each situation is reviewed by the Director and exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.

What is a Direct Support Professional?
A Direct Support Professional (DSP) works in the home with individuals that have disabilities. The DSP provides guidance and support in the daily activities that cannot otherwise be accomplished by the individual on their own. The DSP is key in these individuals lives and helping them enjoy life.
