The Transition to Independent Living house uses a phased approach to empower individuals living with disabilities as they move toward independent community living. Innovative smart home features allow on-site and remote coaching for individualized support.
Technology provides remote monitoring & engagement opportunities that allow residents to be independent.
About the program:
