This method provides a unique opportunity for clients to receive customised residential support services within a family setting that has a fit with the client’s unique needs and lifestyle. The supportive roommates are among our human capital asset approved to receiving trainings, orientations, and guidance within our policies framework. They focus on daily living skills and companionship in a safe, friendly, and inclusive environment our clients can call home.

This helps the individual to increase autonomy in general home maintenance.
