Residents in Supportive Living are provided with limited PSW support based on their own unique needs. Eligibility assessments are conducted by Home and Community Care, and the LACGH social worker. Our goal is to create an environment that provides clinical and non-clinical services custom-designed to foster personal development and autonomy. Residents will be actively engaged in decision-making regarding available services and the goals of care.
