Narrative
LIFE serves over 100 people in Supported Independent Living (SIL) communities in Hyannis, Mashpee and Plymouth. Each community is in a safe neighborhood. There is access to public transportation, job opportunities, and fun things to do.
SIL members live on their own or with a roommate. They receive between 2 to 15 hours of support a week. Each community features a common area, fitness facilities, weekly social activities, and emergency on-call staff.
Candidates for a SIL community are at least 19 years of age, have a history of intellectual disability (ID) or autism. People must show independent living skills, such as:
- home-alone safety
- the ability to cook
- clean
- manage money
- self-medicate with minimal support
The successful SIL person will be involved in a work or volunteer job. They participate in LIFE social and fitness activities. Our professional staff will help to develop independent living skills and a healthy lifestyle. We do this in partnership with families. We honor the human rights of the adults we serve.
