Supported Living
Supported living is provided to adults with developmental disabilities who live in the community. Individuals who receive supported living services in California are those individuals who live in the community, outside of their family home, and have challenges that require intensive support to ensure their health and safety. These challenges include medical and behavioral challenges, limitations to mobility, and any other issues that would necessitate a higher level of support.
3D Supports believes that the purpose of supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities is to work with an individual to discern what their best life would look like, determine the gaps presented by the challenges by their disability, and strive to bridge those gaps. The organization's approach is one of doing with, as opposed to doing for. The ultimate goal of all supported living services is for the individual to achieve the greatest amount of independence possible with the lowest level of support that is feasible for that person. Success in the program is where someone who receives support can live their lives with independence, be integrated into the community, and have the tools and ability to work towards their unique goals.
3D Supports believes in a person-centered and flexible approach to supports. We believe that each individual present with their own set of needs, goals, abilities, and challenges. Rather than fit an individual into a pre-existing support paradigm, we work to develop a program around that individual that understands and addressed those needs, goals, abilities, and challenges. 3D Supports believes that Supported Living should be a holistic service that strives to support the person in their home as well as connect them to their community.
