An example of our Supported Living option is one of our homes in Colorado Springs home shared by two people who have experienced brain injuries. This model enables flexibility within the living environment and the services provided. Each participant has their own apartment within the same home enabling them to lead their own individual lives while utilizing the same support staff. Each person has unique strengths, expectations, and needs. Our highly trained and qualified support staff are available 24 hours a day to assist with the completion of activities of daily living, household tasks, appointments, daily community involvement, and support each person's individualized program plan. This support service model is available for 1 to 4 individuals within the front range area of Colorado. Homes are set up around the participant(s) needs and desires and in the best location for them.

“I love this place. I have grown a lot...physically, emotionally and mentally. I can breathe. I feel safe here!! I am free!! I am loved!! I am happy in this home. This home lets me have independent choice. I am my own person. I matter here!! Life has been positive here. I LOVE being here.”

“Living at Aurora facility is really nice, especially because of the staff. I always feel safe and confident with them. We laugh with each other and most of the time we joke around. I was asked once if I would go back to my former life and I said,’if I could I would but I’d rather stay in this one because I like my personality better.’ I think the staff had a lot to do with that. I remember saying, ‘it’s the best place I’ve ever lived.”
