Housing & Residential Support Through APD: What Are Your Options?

Finding a Place to Call Home

For many families, the biggest question is: Where will my loved one live when they grow older? Some individuals want to live independently, while others need round-the-clock care. APD provides different housing options to meet these needs.

Housing Options Through APD:

1. Supported Living

• Individuals live in their own homes or apartments

• Receive help with cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and self-care

2. Group Homes

• Small homes with trained staff providing 24/7 care

• Residents share responsibilities and daily activities

3. Residential Habilitation Centers

• Higher-level care for individuals who need medical or behavioral support

• Structured programs focused on independence and therapy

4. Family Home Support

• Financial assistance for families caring for loved ones at home

• Can include respite care, nursing, and therapy services

Choosing the Right Housing Option

Families should consider:

✅ Level of independence – Can the individual live alone with support?

✅ Medical needs – Do they require 24-hour supervision?

✅ Social preferences – Do they thrive in a group setting or prefer privacy?

Many individuals start with supported living and transition to other options as their needs change.
