Adult disability support
Your preferred way of living comes first. Explore own-home, community and residential routes separately.
Independent-living resources
Centers for Independent Living are nonresidential community resources for independent-living skills, peer support and advocacy.

APD group and foster homes, ICF/IID facilities and other settings have different services and access routes. Adult scope must be confirmed.

Start with your preferred setting and practical questions. APD’s developmental-disability routes are distinct from general at-home services, community independent-living resources and mental-health support.
APD listings are not currently published here because current licensing and adult admissions have not been established. We do not publish client home addresses or infer suitability from a category.
Questions for a first call or visit
Start with the person’s preferences: where they want to live, their daily routine, and the practical support they want to discuss. A shortlist helps you prepare; it does not decide which service is suitable.
- Confirm the exact location, service and current licence or certification. A campus may have more than one provider record.
- Ask which services are included, who provides them, and what needs a separate assessment or arrangement.
- Request written prices, additional charges, minimum hours or stay, notice periods and cancellation terms.
- Discuss physical access, communication preferences, transport and visiting arrangements directly with the provider.
- Ask about current openings and the admissions process. Listed capacity and a directory record do not establish availability.
Read the evidence beside a listing
Check its source date and credential identifier. A publication date describes the source release; it is not a new check of the provider. A missing detail is something to ask about, rather than evidence that a service is absent.
For care at home, confirm the exact address the provider can serve. An office location alone does not establish a service area. If two listings look similar, compare their identifiers before treating them as one facility.
Keep medical records, identity documents and detailed financial information out of an initial general enquiry. Discuss necessary assessments through the provider’s own appropriate process.
