Supported Independent Living

This program provides one on one support to individual complete tasks such as: assistance with housing selectionand maintenance, budgeting, medical appointments, grocery shopping or other necessary supports. The goal of these activities is to assist individuals to develop life skills while maintaining and increasing their independence.

Who is eligible?
Individuals with a developmental disability who are eligible to receive supports through PDD. You must be living independently or have the ability and desire to live independently in the community.

Each supportive living setting is different and not all settings can meet the accommodation and service needs of a resident. The operator determines the eligibility criteria for residents and it is up to each individual to find out if a specific setting will meet their needs.

As a resident ages or their needs change, additional accommodation, health and personal care services may be needed to allow them to remain as independent as possible.

In addition to publicly funded health and personal care services that may be available through the Alberta Health Care Home Care Program, privately purchased services are also available.
