The
goal of our Supportive Services is to maintain the recipient in an Independent
setting that he/she can call home, to avoid placement in a ‘Group Home’
environment; as an alternative to Adult Foster Care or a Room and Board
situation. This goal is accomplished by identifying the client’s natural
support system and strengthening it wherever possible. We take pride in the role we play; in helping
people to lead fulfilling lives. We strive to make a difference! |

Effective Alternative
Supported
Independent Living (SIL) is an alternative to AFC, for those individuals who
operate at a higher level of functionality, doing so in a cost effective
manner. Supportive Services are provided to the mentally ill and
developmentally disabled, setting the recipients on a platform leading to
complete independence. It is an
alternative method to some forms of group housing, such as a room and board
which can result in a form of warehousing.
It is not to take the place of other Group Home formats, but to fill a
niche that exists for those individuals who have the latent skills necessary
for success in an independent setting but needs the assistance to bring forth
those abilities.
