Supportive Living
Adults share a single-family home with one to three roommates and round-the-clock staff. Everyone has their own bedroom. Staff help with medication, meals, transportation, and the rhythms of an ordinary week.

What we do
Four ways to live with the right support.
Most placements start with one of these. Many people move between them as their needs and goals change.
Host Home
An adult lives with a trained Professional Parent in a private family home. The right fit when group settings feel like too much, but living alone feels like too little.

How funding works
Most of our placements run through Utah's DSPD waivers.
If your case manager has talked about a Community Supports Waiver or a Medicaid HCBS waiver, that is the funding mechanism we work with most. Here is the plain-language version.
The short answer
Utah's Division of Services for People with Disabilities (DSPD) administers Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waivers. The waiver pays for residential, day, employment, and respite supports. Aspen Living is an approved DSPD provider. Once a person is on a waiver and authorized for our services, the waiver covers the cost. Families pay nothing additional for waiver-covered services.
Intake, in short
First call is short. We listen for fit, for timing, and for what would matter most to the person who would be living with us. We do not place anyone we have not met. Settling in takes weeks, not days, and we schedule check-ins at week 1, week 4, week 12, and six months.
When you are ready
Start an intake conversation.
There is no pressure. The first call is a conversation, not a commitment.
