Creating Opportunities for People to Achieve Their Highest Level of Life Satisfaction.
A Person-Centered Approach to Care and Support
All BAI supports are based on the person-centered approach. First and foremost, we consider what assistance and life goals the individual desires. BAI then works in conjunction with the support team, involved family members, physicians, state service coordinators, and any other involved parties to determine and develop the most appropriate supports.
Homes
BAI offers two types of residential home support services (ISLA and TSLA).
-
BAI offers 24-hour residential home support for individuals in services. Independence and privacy are key components of our program. Individuals typically reside with two or three roommates.
-
Each resident has his/her own bedroom as well as access to common areas of the house.
-
For more specific information on ISLA and TSLA services, please refer to our Levels of Support page.
Apartments
BAI operates three types of apartment settings (ISLA, TSLA, and SLA).
-
ISLA apartments are for individuals who require 24-hour assistance. Individuals in this program typically live with a roommate in a two-bedroom apartment. Each individual has their own bedroom and all common areas are shared.
-
TSLA apartments are for individuals who require daily but not 24-hour assistance. Individuals in this program typically live with a roommate in a two-bedroom apartment. Each individual has their own bedroom and all common areas of the apartment are shared.
-
SLA apartments are for individuals who have the desire and ability to live relatively independent with minimal staffing. SLA recipients typically live in either a studio or one bedroom apartment. They may or may not have a roommate.
