Residential services provide supported community living (SCL) to individuals in their own home. Link Associates will personalize supports to persons in meeting their social and leisure interests within their community as well as teaching the daily living skills needed to become as independent as possible. Link Residential program offers assistance during health care appointments and provides transportation to and from appointments for those served. Individuals and their families are encouraged to be an active part of the decision making process. The residential service is provided directly from Link Associates.

Representative Payee services are also available.
