A Definition of Supported Living Options in Community Living June, 2008 A Definition of Supported Living a person with a disability who requires long term, publicly funded, organized assistance allies with an agency whose role is to arrange or provide whatever assistance is necessary for the person to live in a decent and secure home of the person's own --John O’Brien www.optionsmadison.com kturner@optionsmadison.com

Options in Community Living June, 2008 There is a Difference Supported Living is NOT… Supported Living IS… An agency owned or leased home A family home A licensed home Filling beds or slots A list of tasks and transactions Based on relationships and values about community and choice Assistance is offered to people in their own home Support may range from a few hours per week up to 24 hours per day Flexibility is required to meet the needs of all individuals; those with minimal support needs, and those who need skilled support 24 hours per day www.optionsmadison.com kturner@optionsmadison.com

Options in Community Living June, 2008 Supported Living is the foundation of assistance an individual needs to live the life they choose Nobody is excluded due to the type or significance of their disability Supports change as a person’s needs change The list of possible supported living assistance is long, individual and flexible www.optionsmadison.com kturner@optionsmadison.com

Words Matter… Living in your own home does not mean living in your parent’s home. When talking with Family Care or IRIS organizations, clarify that you want to live where you hold the lease or own. Terms like “community supported living” and “community living” are sometimes used; make sure that there are no eligibility requirements, such as not needing assistance 24 hours a day, or not requiring assistance with personal care.
