Supported Independent Living
Supporting those with intellectual disabilities.
Encouraging independence through focused programs.
We want to help bring more active members into our community. Through our Supported Independent Living program, we can support persons with intellectual disabilities in developing socialization skills, basic problem solving, decision making, self-reliance and the ability to make choices.
By fostering these skills, we can improve our participant’s ability to engage with our community. This can only support the continued development of Cudworth and our neighbours but providing capable employees, volunteers and friends. With our guidance, we can help them achieve a lifestyle that’s fulfilling and independent.
How supported independent living helps.
Our program is designed to support persons with intellectual disabilities by teaching and assisting those who live on their own in our community. By planning and preparing meals, cleanliness, order and safety in the home as well as how to make efficient use of their leisure time, we can improve their ability to be self-sufficient and active.
Members of the Columbian Industries team are on-site and able to provide guidance to our participants to ensure that they are developing healthy and beneficial habits. At the end of the day, we want to encourage the development of their independence. If we can help our participants to create supportive routines, then they are well on their way to accomplishing that goal.

Interested in our day programs for adults?
If you’re looking for something more flexible, our day programs provide persons with intellectual disabilities a space where they can engage with focused programs and support that fosters a life of enjoyment. We accomplish this by guiding and directing participants through activities and special events organized and curated by our Columbian Industries team.
