Shared Supported Living is provided to individuals who reside in their own residences (either owned or leased) for the purposes of increasing and enhancing independent living in the community. Supported living is for individuals who need less than twenty-four (24) hour employee staff support per day. Employees must be on-call 24/7 in order to respond to emergencies via phone call or return to the living site, depending on the type of emergency. Supported Living services are provided in a home-like setting where people have access to the community at large to the same extent as people who do not have a serious mental illness.
