Supportive Living Services is a program designed to provide in-home and community-based assistance to adults with developmental disabilities who live in their own homes and want to make their own choices.

By taking control of the choices that control their lives, those with developmental disabilities can better direct their own future.

Through patience, guidance, encouragement and Person-Centered Planning, we support the individuals we serve to develop the confidence and skills they need to make meaningful choices, as well as experience fulfillment and greater independence. Each shift offers new experiences and the reward of knowing you’ve made a difference.
