Supported Living

Residential support is provided to assist individuals with disabilities build the skills needed to live in a safe environment. In-home support may be provided 24/7, or on a scheduled basis where assistance is provided for a planned number of hours. Persons receiving residential services work with their support teams to define and obtain individual goals. Support teams include Sycamore Services residential assistants, as well as a Case Manager or Service Coordinator, and other appropriate service provider representatives.

 In-home Supports may include:

  • Budget and financial assistance
  • Learning to make choices with effective outcomes
  • Coordination of health care
  • Instruction in planning and preparation of nutritious meals
  • Making connections with community resources
  • Basic home care and maintenance
  • Assistance with personal care needs

 

Community based activities are combined with in-home supports to improve skills that will lead to a more independent, involved life for the person receiving services. A comprehensive plan makes effective use of individual budgets while providing more experiences for each individual.

In-community supports may include:

  • Making connections that build friendships
  • Joining clubs or other organized group activities
