Supported Living Program

At Vancouver Apartments, our staff team assist individuals with daily living skills (personal grooming/hygiene, health management, room management, time management, meal planning/cooking, shopping, daily/weekly chores, and budgeting); and community awareness and social maturity (transportation, leisure, work/school volunteer, interpersonal skills, relationship building, communication, consideration, handling problems, public safety).

Our goal is to provide a safe home environment where individuals can practice the skills necessary to live as independently as possible in the community.

We base our programming on the individual, allowing them to incorporate their needs, strengths, abilities, preferences, cultural background, and personal goals. They and their families are encouraged to be involved in this process. As our residents master new skills, their program is adjusted to reflect this growth.
