Supported Living
|
The Supported Living Program began in November of 1996. Clients who desire an independent living arrangement are identified and assisted, as needed, to make the transition to living on their own with agency-provided and/or natural supports. Potential residences are identified that are appropriate to the individual's needs and resources. Deficient life skills are enhanced or developed through individual instruction or in classes. Natural supports are nurtured in the community that will ultimately provide the Inter-dependent relationships necessary for success. The Glades Area ARC offers Supported Living Program services to adults in Western
Palm Beach County who are mentally retarded or developmentally disabled
and whose choice to participate is reflected in a current Support Plan.
Supported Living Program participants have a broad range of abilities
and limitations and are actively encouraged to contribute to their fullest
capacity in the choices a new residence presents. |
