Residential Services
The Progress Center offers a range of housing and support services for individuals with intellectual disabilities and/or autism disorders: Group Homes, In Home Support (21/29) and Shared Living. Each residential service model is offered with a commitment to providing a home where residents can comfortably age in place. Below you will find a description of all three services along with a brief outline of some of the supports that are offered in those settings. As always, our services promote independence and freedom of choice while providing a safe and secure environment.
Shared Living
Shared Living enables people to live in a more traditional home while receiving the care they need.
In Home Support
Home Supports promote independent living by providing support in the home and community.
Residential Homes
Our commitment is to provide homes where residents can comfortably age in place.
Interested in Becoming a Provider?
Shared Living Home Providers commit to supporting an individual with disabilities in many ways: providing a safe home environment, encouraging participation in the community and formation of healthy relationships and assisting with daily routines and activities.
Integration in the community
Shared Living is a residential service model intended to provide support to individuals in a ‘family type’ setting, promoting independence, community inclusion, supported decision making and person centered care. The approach is based on a mutual relationship where both parties agree to share their lives. The shared living approach is designed to enable people with support needs to experience a real community life; one that is not controlled by the formal service delivery system.
