Support levels are based on assessed need, IPP goals, person centered planning, and approved SDP spending plans.

Supported living has a quality problem.

Families know it. Service Coordinators know it. Someone comes into your home, and too often the experience is a revolving door of strangers, missed shifts, and silence. We built our SLS to be the opposite.

A revolving door of new faces, so the person keeps restarting trust from zero.
Consistent people. We match each participant with support professionals by personality, communication style, and goals, and we keep the match.
Support professionals stretched thin until they burn out, and quality burns out with them.
Sustainable teams. Real training, workable schedules, and support for our staff, because cared for people give better care.
One size fits all support built around agency staffing, not the person.
Plan led support. Everything maps to the person centered plan and approved SDP spending plan. The person decides what a good life looks like.
Weeks of silence, then a report nobody can read. Families never know what actually happened.
No black box. Same day documentation and plain language updates for the participant, family, Independent Facilitator, and FMS.

Only through Self Determination.
On purpose.

We are proud of this. SDP is the one structure where the participant truly holds the power: they choose the provider, the budget is transparent, and support is built from their plan instead of an agency's template. That is exactly the environment where quality of care can be protected, so it is the only way we offer SLS, anywhere in California.

How we protect quality of care.

Quality in supported living is not a slogan. It is a set of operational choices, made daily, that either protect the person or protect the schedule. Here are ours.

1

Matched, not assigned

Support professionals are matched by personality, goals, schedule, and communication style. Fit matters as much as skill.

2

Trained and supported

Real training, sustainable schedules, and backup plans, so burnout never becomes the participant's problem.

3

Same day documentation

Sessions are documented the day they happen, in plain language the whole team can actually use.

4

Open communication

Participants, families, Independent Facilitators, and FMS providers always know what happened, what worked, and what comes next.

Frequently asked.

Supported Living Services provide ongoing, individualized support for adults with developmental disabilities living in their own homes: daily routines, health and safety, community participation, and the practical responsibilities of independent living.
Exclusively through the California Self Determination Program, statewide. Participants from any of the 21 regional centers can choose bttr Living within their approved spending plan, beginning with an initial consultation and person centered planning.
SDP puts the participant in charge: they choose the provider, the budget is transparent, and support follows the person centered plan. That structure is what lets us protect quality of care, consistent matching, and individualized support instead of one size fits all staffing. We are proud of that choice.
Adults with developmental disabilities, including autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, intellectual disability, and epilepsy, who live in their own home or are preparing to, and need ongoing support to live safely and with dignity.
Careful matching of support professionals, real training, sustainable schedules that prevent burnout, same day documentation, and open communication with the participant's whole team.
