Your Home. Your Life. Your Way.
Empowering adults with disabilities to live independently in their own homes with the exact level of support they need to succeed.
What is Supported Living?
Supported Living is for individuals who want the freedom of living in their own apartment or home but require assistance with the complexities of independent life. Unlike a community home, you are the primary decision-maker in your space.
At East Penn Human Services, we provide the “behind-the-scenes” support that makes independence sustainable. We don’t just do things for you; we work with you to build the skills you need to manage your own household.
Customizing Your Support
Since no two homes are the same, our support is highly individualized. We assist with:
-
Housing Navigation: Helping you find, lease, and maintain an apartment that fits your budget and lifestyle.
-
Household Management: Learning to manage bills, groceries, meal planning, and home maintenance.
-
Health & Wellness Support: Coordination of medical appointments and assistance with medication self-administration.
-
Financial Independence: Assistance with budgeting, banking, and understanding your benefits (SSI/SSDI).
-
Emergency Preparedness: Developing a plan and the skills to handle unexpected situations safely.
The Path to Independence
We believe in “fading” support as skills are mastered. Our goal is to help you become as independent as possible, providing:
-
Drop-in Support: Scheduled visits throughout the week for specific tasks.
-
On-Call Assistance: Access to help when you need it, giving you the security to live on your own.
-
Goal Tracking: Regular reviews of your ISP (Individual Support Plan) to celebrate your wins and adjust support levels.

-

Service Area: We support individuals living in their own homes throughout Allentown, Bethlehem, and the greater Lehigh Valley.
