What is Supported Living?

Support Solutions is here to offer supportive living services, promoting successful and long-term community living. 

Our commitment is to create and implement services that cater to the choices, abilities, and needs of each individual we serve. 

Make Your Own Choices: Our supported persons have the freedom to choose where they live and who they share their house or apartment with, whether owned or rented.  If rented, they (or their conservator, if applicable) are the lessee, with full control over day-to-day decisions. Choosing furnishings, decorations, and making decisions about living expenses, asset usage, daily menus, entertainment style, guests, and more. 

Our Support Solutions staff is here to assist in arranging living spaces, ensuring safety and health, meeting personal needs, and managing vehicles. 

Access to the Community: We recognize the importance of being part of the larger community. Support Solutions ensures transportation needs are met, either through company-owned vehicles or safe arrangements with staff members. 

Access to Healthcare: Health is a priority. We ensure timely access to routine healthcare services, providing transportation to appointments when needed. 

Rest easy knowing your loved one is cared for with Support Solutions' Supported Living services. 

We provide services that empower individuals to live their best lives.

We're here to offer supported living services that make long-term community living successful. We put a strong focus on individuality and flexibility, allowing each person to choose their housing and other options for a life experience guided by personal choice, preferences, and level of independence. While the level of support needed may differ for each individual, our commitment is to create specific services that cater to their choices, abilities, and needs. Ensuring that everyone receives timely healthcare services when medically or psychiatrically necessary is a top priority for us. This includes transportation services as well.

Step 1: Initial Referral and Assessment

Users seeking support from Support Solutions of the Mid-South (SSMS) should initiate the process by obtaining a referral from a relevant institution such as a psychiatric hospital. This referral will trigger the assessment process. Upon receiving the referral, our clinical team will assess it based on specific criteria including insurance coverage, co-occurring mental health diagnosis, income, and the individual's ability to ambulate. This assessment aims to determine the suitability of services for the individual. If the assessment aligns with the criteria and the person agrees to the proposed services, the admission process will proceed.

Step 2: Evaluation and Service Provision

Following the submission of necessary documents and completion of the admissions process, Support Solutions' Admissions, Discharge, and Transfers Committee will evaluate the referral further. This evaluation includes assessing the adequacy and suitability of personnel and resources, considering the supported person's needs and whether they can be met at home, through residential support, or community/day support. Users will be informed about the availability of services provided and the geographic area served. Additionally, SSMS will coordinate with other agencies if they cannot respond to a request or continuance of service, and will provide advance notification of service changes, with exceptions for specific situations. Throughout this process, users can expect clear communication and guidance from Support Solutions of the Mid-South (SSMS) to ensure a smooth transition and appropriate support provision.
