Supported Independent Living Program
Supported Independent Living Program
At Community Living Kirkland Lake, our Supported Independent Living Program is designed to empower adults with intellectual disabilities to live autonomously while remaining actively engaged in their local community. We believe in providing the precise level of support required to help individuals navigate the challenges of daily living, ensuring they can achieve their personal goals in a safe, encouraging environment.
Who This Program Is For
This program is specifically tailored for adults with intellectual disabilities who wish to live independently but require varying degrees of daily or weekly guidance. It is ideal for individuals who:
Safely manage many aspects of their own routine but need assistance with complex daily tasks.
Are looking to maintain their independence in a community setting for as long as possible.
Are transitioning from a fully supported group home environment into independent community housing.
Personalized Daily Supports
Because every individual has unique strengths and goals, our services are highly customized. The supports we provide vary depending on the specific needs of the person and include:
Life Skills and Housekeeping: Assistance with maintaining a clean, organized, and safe living space.
Financial Literacy: Practical guidance with personal budgeting, banking, and managing monthly expenses.
Healthcare Coordination: Ongoing medical supports to ensure health, wellness, and safety are prioritized.
