THE SUPERVISED APARTMENT PROGRAM
An Independent Living Program

The Supervised Apartment Program can be a transitional living step or permanent housing for graduates of the Residential Living Center. Residents of this program have increased knowledge in managing their illness and have improved psychiatric stability. This program offers residents more spacious accommodations, and the opportunity and responsibility of greater independence.

Staff supports, are more limited than in the Residential Living Center (group home), and are focused on residents’ practicing independent living skills, including: self-care, cooking, cleaning, money management, leisure time planning etc. Residents may also work on accepting greater responsibility for self-medication.

Supervised Apartment residents generally have a commitment of work, school or volunteerism outside of the program.
