Community Living Group

Where Independence,
Care, and Community Come Together

At LifeLong Support, our Community Living Group Homes are designed to be more than just a place to live—they are places where individuals build independence, form meaningful relationships, and experience a true sense of home and belonging.

We provide safe, comfortable, community-based residences where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities receive 24/7 personalized support tailored to their unique needs, preferences, and goals.

Like leading providers in the field, we believe that individuals thrive in environments that combine structure, compassion, and opportunity . Our approach goes further by integrating clinical oversight, structured skill-building, and person-centered planning into everyday life.

Every individual we serve is unique—and so is their home experience.

Our Community Living services are built around:

Individual preferences and personal goals
Customized Person-Centered Plans (PCPs)
Flexible levels of support based on evolving needs
Respect for choice, independence, and dignity

We work closely with each individual and their family to create a living environment that reflects who they are—not just what services they need.

This aligns with best practices across the industry, where care is designed around the individual—not the other way around .

Participants receive individualized supports through a combination of hands-on assistance, formal training, coordinated care, and consistent supervision, including one-on-one support when needed.
