The purpose of Supported Living Services is to provide social and community integration for clients served in the least restrictive way possible.
California Vocations started its Supported Living Services program in 1996 to accommodate developmentally disabled individuals who benefit from living in their own home as opposed to living in a congregated living environment.
Individuals and their families work with Far Northern Regional Center and the California Vocations management team to develop a service plan specific to their needs.
Services are designed through a person-centered planning process and may include:
- Health and medication management
- Personal wellness plan
- Home maintenance
- Meal preparation assistance
- Transportation
- Assistance with skills of daily living
