Supporting Adults with Disabilities: Living Independently After 18

Supporting Adults with Disabilities: Living Independently After 18

Turning 18 is a major milestone. For individuals with disabilities, it marks a transition into a new phase of life filled with opportunities—and challenges. Zion Care Services LLC is dedicated to supporting this transition through our specialized Supported Living Services (SLS) for adults.

What Changes After 18?

Legally and practically, turning 18 means more autonomy. Individuals may:

  • Move out of the family home
  • Take on legal responsibility for decisions
  • Begin adult programming

However, this also means needing more structured support for:

  • Personal care
  • Household management
  • Health and medical care
  • Social integration

ZCS Solutions for Adults 18+

We offer SLS services in various provider-controlled settings including:

  • Community Residential Services (CRS)
  • Supervised living facilities
  • Provider-owned apartments and condos
  • Foster care placements

These environments offer safety and support, while promoting independence.

Customized Skill Development

ZCS staff assist adults in building skills in:

  • Money management
  • Interpersonal relationships
  • Scheduling and planning
  • Nutrition and meal planning

Focus on Well-being

We take a holistic approach that includes:

  • Behavioral support
  • Health and wellness monitoring
  • Community outings
  • Leisure and recreational activities

Transition Planning

We work closely with each individual and their support network to create a transition plan that meets short- and long-term goals.

After my stroke, I dreaded being dependent. But Zion’s caregivers treated me with dignity and kindness. I laugh more now, and that says everything.
