The Independent Living model is for Core Members who are already living independently or could be with minimal support.
Every CASS Home provides living space for 3 Core Members. Every Core Member has their own apartment containing a living room, kitchenette, dining space, bedroom, and bathroom. All three apartments are located off a common living room, full kitchen, laundry room and guest bathroom.
In the Independent Living model, a CASS Steward lives adject to the Core Members in their own private living quarters. CASS Stewards are a safe neighbor to the Core Members offering safety and accountability through daily check-ins, a weekly gathering, and a monthly outing.
The Guided Living model is for Core Members that need 3-5 hours of daily support through prompts, reminders, and some modeling of skill and behaviors. CASS is currently in the process of developing this model. Updates about the Guided Living model will be shared as we work out the best practices, policies, and affordability of Gudied Living.
The Family Living model will be for Core Members that need daily support though prompting, reminders, and modeling, as well as some direct support for daily needs. Family Living is still several years out in our planning process for CASS.
