Options is a Supported Living provider, assisting adults (18+) with intellectual and developmental disabilities to find and keep a home of their own in the community
People we support may live in an apartment, a townhouse, a condo, or a single family house.
Most of the people we support rent but some are homeowners. Some individuals live alone or with peer roommates, with varying degrees of come-in staff support ranging from visits several times per day, to weekly visits, to 24 hours a day.
Currently, Options supports 110 people ranging in age from 20 to 90. People supported by Options experience some degree of developmental or intellectual disability. Other disabilities experienced by people supported by Options include cerebral palsy, epilepsy, acquired brain injury, mental illness, hearing impairment, and autism. Many individuals to whom we provide services have multiple and significant disabilities.
