Affinity provides home- and community-based supported living services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and Autism, in an effort to promote self-reliance and foster each individual’s ability to make a special contribution to an inclusive community.
Our Approach Since 2004
Affinity emphasizes strong communication and a team approach in all aspects of our services. Programs are developed to meet the needs of each individual while integrating best practice approaches in addressing areas of skill development. Behavioral Health Professionals (BHP) and Direct Support Professionals (DSP) are recruited and trained to meet the specific needs of each individual that we serve.
Our Commitment
- To respect and support family choices
- To listen to each individual’s voice
- To support each individual’s needs
- To advocate for each individual’s goals
