The purpose of Shared Living
is to provide a safe, affordable environment where patients can have
housing, learn independent living skills, have assistance with medication
compliance, be assessed for needs with varied levels of services per their
individualized Treatment Plan that is approved by our Medical Director. Each
person works directly from their Treatment Plan and will receive special
assistance regarding the goals by Community Support Services Case Management
and 24-hour support from our Community Support Specialists.
Shared Living is simply a living environment where space
is shared and where an array of community support services can be provided.
Each residence is completely furnished with cooking supplies, furniture,
linens and appliances. While at Shared Living each patient
is responsible for minimal rent, food, medications and personal items. With
rent being low cost, this is a great opportunity for a person to save money
that can be used to pay deposits and items for their own residence once they
are ready to move into independent living. |
