Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides opportunities for individuals to reside in their own home. The program embraces the philosophy that individuals should have the opportunity to choose where and how they would like to live. The frequency and duration of staff support are based on the individual’s abilities, level of support and/or supervision required. Many individuals are able to live in their own homes, drive their own vehicles and live and work in the community.
Center-Based Respite at our TWO The Arc of Baton Rouge’s Locations
The Arc of Baton Rouge’s Center-based Respite is provided at our TWO amazing facilities in Baton Rouge, allowing a “home-away-from-home” atmosphere. Caregivers of an individual with an intellectual and developmental disability can have a break or period of rest while knowing their loved one is being cared for by our trained staff.
In-Home Respite Care
In-home Respite Caring for a loved one is a full-time job and respite care provided by The Arc of Baton Rouge can help supplement the care and support needed for a person with an intellectual and developmental disability. Respite services can be utilized within the home or in a community setting. We provide supervision, assistance and/or support by trained staff, allowing parents, family members or primary caregivers a break or period of rest. A direct care staff member is assigned to and specifically trained to the individual’s specific needs.
