Supportive Community Living Services

The SCL program is designed to support members to live as independently as possible in their own homes. Staff is available to provide members with individualized hourly services to help them accomplish their goals. The goal of the program is to maintain independent living and increase involvement in the community.

We pride ourselves in practicing a person-centered approach as member choice is always held in the highest regard to each member’s services. The focus of SCL programming is on empowerment; so as the member is able reduce the need for services and be as independent as they wish to be. The program provides training to help members develop or regain skills of daily living such as:

• Home management skills
• Social and leisure skills
• Medical support services
• Health and wellness education
• Managing mental health
• Budgeting and financial assistance
• Crisis management and problem solving
• Transportation coordination
• Advocacy

Residential supports provide daily supervision and training in activities such as laundry, routine household care, self-care, shopping, money management, socialization, and leisure activities. Daily services are provided with a range of staffing supports and various schedules that are based on member need in order to ensure adequate support through this transitional setting. Services provided at this level are intended to evaluate and train/rehabilitate members for successful integration or introduction into community living. Program length for each served member is based on member progress and not time limited; thus increasing chances at success when services are reduced.
