supported living

Help with independence

Supported living is a care arrangement where people with disabilities, mental health conditions, or other needs live in their own homes while receiving assistance tailored to their requirements.

Unlike residential facilities, the person typically holds their own tenancy and controls their living space.

Support may include help with daily tasks, medication, finances, or social activities: She moved from a group home into supported living when she was ready for more independence.
