SUPPORTED LIVING

Living Purpose will provide individualized support and services that reflect functional and meaningful activities relevant to the individual consumer’s age, preferences, culture, and environment. Once identified, priority needs for support services and skill building are reflected and agreed upon by the individual consumer and the planning team. This includes developing and documenting methods and procedures which includes identifying and incorporating into the plan other community members, family and friends who will support the well-being of the client and their efforts to accomplish the agreed goals. These methods and procedures will serve as a point of reference and guide for the Case Managers and Support Specialists in the delivery of individualized supported living services.

• Assistance in finding, modifying and maintaining a home of their choice
