Supported Living

Wabash Center’s Supported Living program offers staff support in safe and affordable housing for the individuals we serve. Our goal is to help individuals live their best and most independent life possible. Our staff will provide support as needed based on each individual’s needs. We empower each individual to do what they can on their own and assist them in acquiring skills to become more independent.

We have multiple locations both Greater Lafayette and Northwest Indiana. Individuals can live on their own or with up to three roommates. Every home is staffed based on the level of support needed by the individual. We serve individuals with a diverse range of needs. Some homes have staff onsite 24 hours a day. Other homes need minimal support.

Meet James!

James is a leader among his peers, and they describe him as a loyal friend who is always willing to lend a hand. Through his engagement with our teams in the Supported Living and Employment Services programs at Wabash Center during the last 10 years, James has grown as a person and in the workplace. He excels in social environments, is active in Tippecanoe County’s Special Olympics, and has a goal of becoming a firefighter—he is always looking for opportunities to learn and develop with this goal in mind. Recently, James earned his CPR certification with the American Heart Association, and also completed their AED and First Aid courses for children and adults. James is proud of his new knowledge! He looks forward to the future and hopes to grow in his abilities so he can serve his community and those around him.
