SUPPORTED LIVING SERVICES ARE PROVIDED FOR AN HOUR OR TWO EACH DAY TO HELP WITH SPECIFIC TASKS SUCH AS BILL PAYING, CLEANING, GROCERY SHOPPING, MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, ETC. THE GOAL OF ALL RESIDENTIAL SERVICES IS TO TEACH CLIENTS SELF-CARE, DAILY LIVING SKILLS, AND SELF-MANAGEMENT SKILLS IN ORDER TO BECOME MORE INDEPENDENT AND SELF-SUFFICIENT. EACH CLIENT HAS AN INDIVIDUALIZED PLAN WITH GOALS AND OBJECTIVES SPECIFIC TO HIS OR HER OWN ABILITIES AND DESIRE TO LEARN. OBJECTIVE DATA IS TAKEN ON TRAINING PROGRAMS RELATED TO THESE PLANS. REGULAR REPORTS ARE MADE TO OVERSIGHT AGENCIES AND PLANS ARE UPDATED AT LEAST ANNUALLY OR AS THE PERSON LEARNS SKILLS AND INDICATES NEW PREFERENCES.
