What is supported living?
Broadmoor Community Services provides individualized services to meet the individual’s daily living needs. The services include instruction and assistance with an SLS coordinator and staff whom assists with personal care, household chores, and all facets of daily living.
We provide services and supports to diverse needs including individuals who are in need of 24-hour support as well as individuals who only require minimal assistance or support.
Our purpose is to assist the individuals we support to find a safe and comfortable living environment while teaching them to become as independent as possible.
Every individual will have the opportunity to live where they wish (within their financial means), the right to determine with whom they live, and the right to choose the support staff that will be working with them in their homes.
Supported living is quite a simple idea!
A person with a developmental disability gets the support they need to live in their own home. If the person’s needs change, the support they get can also be changed. The most important thing is that the support matches the person’s needs. This means the supports are designed for the person, they fit the person, the person does not have to fit the supports. This helps the person to live in their community successfully.
How supported living works can be described like this:
Supported living is an approach to housing and support for people with developmental disabilities based on the fundamental belief that every person has a right to lead their own life, to determine where, how, with whom they live and who provides them with support.
Circle of Support assists and encourages the individual to develop and implement the lifestyle that makes them happy, reflects desired goals, and promotes an exceptional quality of life.
Supported is about developmentally disabled individuals:
- Living in their own home
- Making choices about their own life
- Getting support to live the way they want to live
*It does not matter what disability the person has or how much support they need.
