Adult Services

Empowering independence and community integration

The Adult Supportive Living Program provides in-home and community-based supports to over 70 people with a variety of disabilities. The types of supports provided are based upon the person’s needs and desires. The frequency of supports ranges from 6 hours per week to 24 hours per day, depending on the significance of the individual’s disability.

  • Collaboration and Planning

    UCPRI works closely with the individual, their families, and the Department of Behavioral Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Hospitals (BHDDH) to ensure a safe, active, and enriching life for the people they support. Each participant is involved in an annual plan that determines goals for the coming year. Community integration, independence, and self-determination are the key goals that staff and individuals strive to achieve.

  • Types of Supports Offered

    The supports offered include community integration, which helps individuals become active and engaged members of their communities. Daily living skills support involves assisting with tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and managing finances. Personal care services provide assistance with hygiene and personal health care. Socialization skills support encourages and facilitates social interactions and friendships. Additionally, basic adult education offers educational opportunities to enhance knowledge and skills.

  • Housing and Personalized Support

    UCPRI operates Cara Estates and New Life Apartments, two HUD-financed apartment complexes. They provide services to most individuals living in these complexes. Supports are individualized, with people sharing hours and experiences with others while also receiving personalized support as needed.
