Residential Services
Our Residential program allows individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities to live in their own homes. Our staff is trained to help each person live independently in their community.
A Staffed Residence is where a participant lives in their home with two housemates. you sign a lease and pay room and board monthly and the Southwest Center maintains the home and has staff in place to ensure you are getting your meals, medications, and enjoying life in the community.
A Technology Assisted Residence uses the internet to connect devices to enable remote monitoring, and control of appliances and systems, such as lighting and HVAC. These latest advancements in assisted technology give residents increased accessibility and greater independence.
A Family Home Provider (FHP) offers a shared living model that connects individuals with a supportive family home in the community. In this setting, individuals become part of daily household life while receiving personalized guidance aligned with their goals. Careful matching and ongoing support from the SWC team promote stability, meaningful relationships, and a strong sense of belonging within a nurturing home environment.
Regardless of which type of home works best for you, you get to decorate your room, and do all of the things we all do in our homes and community. If you are interested in exploring how the Southwest Center can help you live your best life, please send an email to info@swcky.org.
