Adultsupported

Adultsupported refers to a model of care and support designed for adults who require assistance with daily living due to physical, developmental, or mental health challenges. This support aims to promote independence, well-being, and community integration for individuals who may not be able to fully manage all aspects of their lives on their own. The specific nature of adultsupported services can vary widely depending on the individual's needs and the availability of resources.

Services often include help with personal care such as bathing and dressing, medication management, meal preparation, and household tasks. Beyond these basic needs, adultsupported programs frequently offer support for social engagement, access to vocational training or employment opportunities, and assistance with transportation. The overarching goal is to empower individuals to live as autonomously as possible while ensuring their safety and dignity.

The delivery of adultsupported services can be provided in various settings, including specialized residential facilities, group homes, or through in-home support services. Funding for these services typically comes from a combination of government programs, private insurance, and individual contributions. The philosophy behind adultsupported care emphasizes person-centered planning, where the individual's preferences and goals are central to the development of their support plan.
