Independent Living with Meaningful Support
A community-based setting that balances structure and freedom while supporting long-term stability.
Restoring Dignity and Hope Through Independent Living
Specifically designed for individuals living with serious mental illness who are ready for greater independence while continuing to benefit from structure, accountability, and ongoing clinical connection.
Independence-Forward
Supportive Housing at The MendCenter is not assisted living, a group home, or custodial care. It encourages personal responsibility and autonomy.
Appropriate for Individuals Who:
Have completed or no longer require full residential care; Benefit from structure, routine, and regular check-ins; Are able to live more independently while remaining connected to treatment; Are working toward employment, education, or increased self-sufficiency; Need support that adapts to real-world demands rather than 24-hour supervision.
Where Supportive Housing Fits in Our Continuum of Care
Supportive Housing serves as a natural progression for individuals stepping down from higher levels of care and as a stable foundation for those continuing outpatient treatment on their journey to greater forms of independence.
Regular support and oversight without 24-hour residential monitoring
Consistent support that respects independence without constant supervision.
Continued engagement with clinical services and recovery goals
Ongoing clinical connection that sustains progress beyond intensive care.
Skill-building for long-term autonomy and stability
Practical skill development that supports lasting independence and stability.
Supportive Housing Provides Reassurance Without Over-Control
Supportive housing offers people more independence while remaining connected to a team that understands their needs, monitors stability, and intervenes early when challenges arise. Families often find this level of care offers a healthier balance between freedom and support—promoting confidence, responsibility, and long-term success.
