Frequently Asked Questions
What families typically want to know about supported apartment living.
What are Supported Living Apartments?
Supported Living Apartments are individual apartments within a shared community designed for adults with developmental disabilities. Residents have their own private space plus access to common areas, regular social events, and on-site support with safety and daily needs.
How is this different from a group home or supported living services?
Supported Living Apartments are a dedicated apartment community with private units and shared social spaces. Supported Living Services can be provided in any home, while group homes offer 24/7 structured, staffed residential care. The apartment model is ideal for residents who can manage some daily tasks independently.
What amenities does the apartment community include?
Each resident has their own private apartment. The community includes a common patio, shared event rooms, a pool, and a fitness center. Residents also enjoy regular organized socials to connect with their neighbors in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
Who is a good fit for this program?
This program works well for adults who benefit from safety support and daily check-ins but can handle some household tasks on their own, such as basic cooking and identifying safety hazards. It's designed for people who want independence within a caring community.
Can we visit the apartments before making a decision?
Absolutely. We encourage families to tour the Scott's Addition community, see an apartment, meet the team, and experience the shared spaces before making any commitment.
How do I get started with a referral?
Start by scheduling a tour at smileslikeyours.com/start. After the visit, your Support Coordinator submits a referral, we complete a brief assessment, and together we build a personalized support plan.
