In this Supportive Living environment, residents are provided with the opportunity to direct their lives as fully as possible. The ability to choose and direct individual lifestyle preferences and personal care services is emphasized, as is independence, dignity, individuality and privacy. Family members are encouraged to participate and be involved.

Supportive living provides accommodation in a home-like setting, where people can remain as independent as possible while they have access to accommodation and services that meet their changing needs. Supportive living serves the needs of a wide range of individuals. Residents in a supportive living setting can range from seniors who require support services due to age, chronic conditions and frailty to young adults with mental health or physical disabilities.
