Supported Living Services

Supported Living services are provided to adults who generally need a greater level of support than those people served in Independent Living. Typically, this service allows individuals who require up to 24 hour a day support to be able to experience the dignity and pride of living in their own home (rather than licensed facilities) while receiving the support they need to remain safe and have their physical needs met. Support is usually provided through a paid roommate but may take other forms such as home health care assistance, a team of rotating staff covering shifts, or an on call paid support person available 24 hours a day.

People receiving supported living services work on objectives of their choosing which usually include assistance with daily tasks such as personal care, meal preparation, household management, safety, shopping, accessing community resources, etc. Support is provided in the individual's own home or in the community. Services focus on encouraging individuals to become self advocates, make their own choices, and become integrated in the community.

Supported Living Services are funded by San Diego Regional Center. In addition, some individuals may qualify to receive In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) through the county which provides funding for personal care assistance.
