Supported Living History
Supported Living began in 1985 when parents of some of our campers loved the experience their children were having in camp and wanted to carry that over to a home setting. What started as the vision of a handful of parents and one large Victorian home, has expanded to eleven homes and 3 apartments. Homes range in style and size, from apartments to single family homes; all designed to meet the changing needs of each individual. Supported Living works closely with the Horizons referral team to ensure the “fit” is best for all concerned.
Horizons Supported Living Services are as unique and multi-faceted as the individuals we serve. Adults live in homes or apartments with a wide variety of custom-tailored supports, from cooking and shopping, to hiking and going to the movies, visiting museums and amusement parks.
Supports are:
- person-centered
- oriented around a daily routine which includes work and the pursuit of personal interests and hobbies
- built to complement meaningful relationships with family, friends, neighbors, and members of the community
- based on individual preferences and capacities
- designed to help each person live the life they want.
