Narrative

Our In-Home Support program is a supported living service offered at Communitas. Our staff of mentors help people to live independently in apartments located in Wakefield, Reading, North Reading and Saugus.

As part of the In-Home Support program, people and their roommates (alongside their mentors) are responsible for planning their daily activities. This includes managing transportation, medical services and social engagements. Each person has their own Communitas mentor for as many hours per week as needed. Services are determined by DDS and our program through a regular assessment process.

People regularly engage in a variety of fun and therapeutic activities that build cognitive, physical and social skills. We teach core life skills and responsibilities. Skills include:

  • money management
  • personal health
  • career support 
  • community relationships
