Our services

Support shaped around each person's goals

Caring About Lives offers two core programs — Supported Living and Independent Living — plus the wraparound services that help people live well. Every service is accessed through the individual's IPP.

Supported Living Services

SLS — for living safely in a home of your own

SLS provides ongoing support to individuals who live in their own homes and need more intensive assistance to remain safely and successfully part of their communities. Support scales to the person, up to 24-hour and overnight care when authorized.

Caring About Lives is a vendored ILS provider with the South Central Los Angeles Regional Center (vendor #HX1358, service code 520) at a 1:1 staffing ratio.
