Residential Services
We believe that “home” is a deeply personal concept, unique to each individual’s life path and aspirations. Our residential services are designed with this understanding, acknowledging and embracing the diverse needs of our individuals. By offering a range of supportive living options tailored to individual preferences and capabilities, we strive to create environments that feel like home for each person—a place where they can thrive, grow, and experience a fulfilling, independent life.
At Innovative Resources for Independence (IRI), we offer a comprehensive range of residential services to accommodate diverse needs and preferences. Our residential options ensure each individual has the support and structure needed to live independently, safely, and with dignity. Here’s a closer look at our residential offerings:
Individualized Residential Alternative (IRA)
Supervised IRAs: These homes provide 24-hour staff supervision for individuals who require continuous oversight and support. The environment is structured to offer a safe and supportive setting at all times.
Supportive IRAs: Designed for individuals who need minimal assistance, supportive IRAs offer a safe living arrangement with scheduled supervision, typically each morning and evening. This setup allows for greater independence while ensuring safety and guidance when needed.
Individual Supports & Services (ISS)
Flexible Apartment Living: ISS provides individuals with the freedom to choose from a range of apartment living options, allowing for greater independence.
Lease Ownership: In ISS, individuals have their names on the lease, giving them the rights and responsibilities of tenancy and promoting a sense of ownership.
Opportunities for Home Ownership: ISS supports individuals who aspire to own their own homes, offering guidance and resources to make homeownership a reality.
Tailored Supervision: Supervision is adapted to each person’s needs, with support available when required to ensure a safe and independent lifestyle.
Shared Living
Supportive Shared Arrangement: Shared Living offers an innovative setup where a non-disabled person shares a home with an individual with developmental disabilities. This arrangement fosters a supportive and inclusive environment that balances independence with added reassurance.
Peace of Mind: Shared Living is ideal for those who value the security and companionship that comes from having an additional source of support within their home.
Each residential option at IRI is customized to meet the unique needs of the individual, ensuring a living environment that promotes independence, community involvement, and personal growth.
