We offer varying support levels, spanning from 3 hours per week to 24/7 care. Within Community Living services people are supported in their own home, a family member’s home, or in a trained caregiver’s home. We aim to elevate each person’s independence and foster a strong sense of belonging both in the home and community.
Participants of this program must be eligible under the DDS. For more information, see our rack cards.
