For many adults with special needs, the goal of living in their own home is a powerful symbol of independence and personal choice. United Community Options of South Florida helps turn that goal into a reality through our Supported Living services. This empowering model provides individuals with the personalized assistance they need to live successfully and confidently in their own homes or apartments, rather than in a facility.
Exploring Independence with Supported Living Services
A Home to Call Your Own
The foundation of our Supported Living program is choice. Participants live in a home of their own within the community, giving them a true sense of autonomy and belonging. This approach honors their desire for independence while ensuring a safety net of support is always available when needed.
Personalized Support on Your Terms
There is no one-size-fits-all path to independence. Our trained staff work with each individual to create a customized support plan. This can range from assistance with daily tasks like grocery shopping and personal care to help with financial wellness, budgeting, and managing appointments. Support is flexible and evolves as an individual’s needs change.
Building Essential Life Skills
Living independently requires a wide range of skills. Our program focuses on providing hands-on training and assistance to help individuals master these skills. We support them in areas like home maintenance, health and safety, and daily living routines, building the competence and confidence needed to manage their own household.
Fostering Community Connections
A fulfilling life includes being an active part of a community. Our staff assist individuals in engaging with their local surroundings, whether it’s learning to use public transportation, joining social clubs, or attending community events. We help bridge connections that reduce isolation and foster meaningful relationships.
Supported Living is more than just a service—it’s a partnership dedicated to maximizing personal choice and self-determination. If you or a loved one is ready to take the next step toward greater independence, contact United Community Options of South Florida to learn more about our empowering Supported Living program.
