Empowering Independence With Choice, Dignity, and Support
At LifeLong Support, our Supported Living Services are designed to empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live independently in the homes and communities of their choosing—while receiving the personalized support needed to thrive.
We believe that independence is not simply about where someone lives—it is about having control, making meaningful choices, building relationships, and living a life defined by purpose, dignity, and connection.

A Person-Centered Approach to Independent Living
Every service we provide begins with a comprehensive, person-centered planning process. We take the time to understand each individual by:
- Conducting detailed assessments of needs, abilities, and preferences
- Collaborating with families and support teams
- Observing daily routines, communication styles, and personal goals
From this, we develop individualized Person-Centered Plans (PCPs) that:
- Reflect each person’s goals, lifestyle, and aspirations
- Guide all services and supports
- Evolve as needs and preferences change over time
Our approach ensures that every individual remains at the center of their own life decisions.
Support Where You Live—And How You Choose to Live
Supported Living Services are delivered in the residence of the participant’s choice, ensuring flexibility, autonomy, and comfort.We support individuals living in:
- Private homes or apartments
- Family residences
- Shared living arrangements
We also assist individuals in:
- Identifying and securing appropriate housing options
- Selecting compatible roommates based on preferences and lifestyle
- Establishing safe, stable, and personalized living environments
All housing decisions are guided by the individual’s preferences and Person-Centered Plan—ensuring that each living arrangement supports independence, comfort, and long-term success.
