COMMUNITY LIVING

Community Living Services provide people with developmental disabilities staff support in a residential setting in order to increase or maintain community living skills, including self-advocacy, communication, self-help, socialization, and leisure/recreation.

The residential program provides adults with developmental disabilities with 24-hour assistance and support in their homes.  A person can live alone or with up to four housemates, in  spacious, well-maintained homes located in safe, clean neighborhoods. Each home reflects the preferences and tastes of each person, and ensures that everyone can enjoy the privacy of their own room. Residential support staff provide opportunities for active participation in daily routines and preferred activities at home, in their neighborhood, and in their larger community.

Assisted Living Services are provided to people who do not require 24-hour support in the home. In assisted living, people typically live alone or with a significant other. Tobosa has also assisted several couples in purchasing their own homes.

Family Living Services are also offered by Tobosa and provided by a companion, foster or natural family member who meets specific requirements. The person is supported in his or her home or in the home of the provider.

Community living services are designed to assist people in utilizing community resources and developing social connections. Many people in the residential program are regular participants in city runs/walks and frequent attendees at community activities, such as athletic and cultural events as well as musical performances.
