Our Supported Living Services also go beyond just the basics — we help participants.

A Personalized, Person-Centered Approach

  • Every service begins with a PCP (Person-Centered Plan). This plan outlines the participant’s aspirations, preferences, daily support needs, and long-term goals. Using the PCP as our foundation, we create an individualized support structure that encourages:
  • Skill development
  • Confidence building
  • Decision-making
  • Increased self-direction
  • Greater independence in daily routines
  • Whether someone needs help managing daily chores, organizing their schedule, preparing meals, or navigating community activities, our goal is to support them in building long-term life skills — not dependency.

What Supported Living Includes

J Heart Healthcare provides support directly in the participant’s chosen home, whether that’s a house, apartment, or shared living arrangement. Our Supported Living Services in Lanham may include:

  • Help managing morning and evening routines
  • Meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking support
  • Budgeting, bill-paying guidance, and household organization
  • Medication reminders (within regulatory guidelines)
  • Health and wellness routines
  • Safety supervision and risk-management support
  • Scheduling and attending medical appointments
  • Transportation to community programs or activities
  • Social engagement and participation in meaningful community events
  • Coaching in communication, self-advocacy, and problem-solving
  • Our goal is to ensure that each participant develops the confidence and skills needed for a safe, fulfilling, and self-directed life.
What Supported Living Includes

More Than Assistance — A Path to Independence

Supported living is not just about offering help. It is about empowering individuals to:

  • Choose where they live and with whom
  • Live in neighborhoods that match their preferences and lifestyle
  • Build relationships, friendships, and community connections
  • Develop skills that lead to long-term independence
  • Make personal decisions with dignity and autonomy

We go beyond providing basic care — we help each person lead a meaningful, connected, and confident life while benefiting from high-quality Independent Living programs in Lanham.

Quality, Safety & Professional Support

As a licensed DDA (Developmental Disabilities Administration) provider in Maryland, J Heart Healthcare maintains high standards of safety, professionalism, and compliance.

  • All staff receive training in person-centered planning, disability support, crisis prevention, medication safety, and community integration.
  • Background checks and continuous professional development ensure safe and high-quality services.
  • Regular quality assurance reviews, PCP evaluations, and ongoing communication with families and coordinators help ensure consistent, individualized support.

Housing Support & Roommate Selection

We support participants in:

  • Finding comfortable and appropriate housing
  • Selecting compatible roommates (or choosing to live alone)
  • Coordinating leases, furnishings, and home setup
  • Ensuring the environment is safe, accessible, and aligned with the PCP

This is part of helping individuals truly feel “at home” in their community.

Community Engagement & Social Participation

Community engagement is an essential part of independence. Our team encourages and supports participation in:

  • Recreation and leisure programs
  • Social groups and clubs
  • Educational or employment opportunities
  • Religious, volunteer, or cultural activities
  • Local events and community-building programs

Staying active helps individuals build confidence, friendships, and emotional well-being.
