Heart Work Supported Living

At ALSO, we strive to make the lives of those experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities richer and more fulfilling. Our 25 years of service towards this goal is what makes the pillars of our heart work so important and meaningful. We are proud of the impact that we are making day in and day out for those we support all across the state or Oregon.

Supported Living offers an approach where people choose where they live, how they live and how often they receive support. We work together to create a unique and individualized plan for each person.  We believe that people live, work and thrive in the communities of their choice.

ALSO Advocates help balance and facilitate multiple aspects of one’s life, such as self-advocacy, money management, medical assistance, personal care and many more daily life skills. Supported living services assist in securing a self-sustaining, independent living situation in your community. Here’s a look into our Supported Living Program options.

In-Home Supports (all ages) — Individual services offered in your home. This person-centered approach is developed around each individual’s needs.

Supported Living — We work hard to promote, encourage and assist with independence in a wide variety of services based on an individual’s needs.

Roommate Model — Provides a cost-effective, shared independent living opportunity addressing one of the largest barriers to independent living, affordable housing! Each individual has their own program set up based on their choices and unique needs.

24 Hour Support — Offered for those who need support around the clock.

Community — We provide support in an individual’s community from shopping to volunteering, hiking, entertainment, mastering public transportation or whatever that support may look like for that person.
