About Community Living Adults

Community Living Adults has evolved over the years. EPI offers Community Living Adults services for people with mental disabilities, developmental disabilities, acquired brain injury and mental illness. There are over 400 people served in over 100 different sites. People live in single-family homes, duplexes, apartments and group homes within the community.

EPI uses a Personal Outcomes Planning process to individualize our services. We gain knowledge of an individual's dreams, preferences, ambitions, likes and dislikes, needs and desires through careful listening, observations and discussions.

The amount of service an individual receives may be scheduled for up to 24 hours a day, for a few hours each week or available in case of emergencies

EPI Community Living Adults services help people to learn some or all of the skills necessary to plan, shop for and prepare their own meals, do their own laundry, clean their own home and enjoy community events and activities. EPI employees are available to assist with medical appointments, budgeting, and transportation. The services provided are flexible and defined individually through an interdisciplinary planning process.
