Our Mission

An Established Network. A Commitment to Individualized Support.

The Supported Living Group (SLG) is an established Connecticut provider of non-medical, community-based services, helping individuals and families navigate the support systems available to promote independence, stability, and meaningful participation in their communities.

We provide a broad range of individualized services through programs that include the Connecticut ABI Waiver, Autism Waiver, PCA services, Elder Care, Money Follows the Person (MFP), private-pay arrangements, and Department of Developmental Services (DDS) programs. Our approach recognizes that every individual has different circumstances, abilities, and goals. We work to connect those needs with practical, person-centered support that helps people maintain and develop greater independence in their homes and communities.

Connected to Connecticut's Network of Care

Effective community-based support requires more than providing direct services. It also requires communication, collaboration, and an understanding of the broader systems that support individuals and families.

SLG maintains professional relationships and collaborative connections across Connecticut's disability, healthcare, aging, and community-support networks. These include the Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS), the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), Community Options, the Home Care Association of America (HCAOA), Connecticut Community Care (CCC), and the Southwestern and Western Connecticut Area Agencies on Aging (SWCAA and WCAAA), among others.

We also maintain professional relationships with private healthcare and care-management organizations, including The Hartford, Care Risk, and National Care Advisors.

Building Continuity Across the Care Journey

Throughout our work in Connecticut, SLG has developed professional relationships with hospitals, rehabilitation providers, and healthcare organizations involved in supporting individuals transitioning back into their homes and communities. These relationships include The Hospital for Special Care, Gaylord Specialty Healthcare, Bridgeport Hospital, Bristol Hospital, Griffin Hospital, UConn Health, Waterbury Hospital, Yale New Haven Health, and Hartford HealthCare.

These connections reflect our understanding that successful community living often depends on coordinated support across multiple providers and systems. By working collaboratively with individuals, families, care managers, healthcare professionals, and other community partners, SLG seeks to promote continuity, address changing needs, and help individuals build lives that reflect their own goals and priorities.

At SLG, our relationships are not simply about who we know. They are about how we work together to help individuals achieve more.

Already Approved for Connecticut's ABI Waiver?

You may be closer to getting the support you need than you think.

Being approved for the ABI Waiver is an important step. The next step is finding a provider who understands your needs, respects your goals, and can help you make the most of the services available to you.

Whether you are looking for assistance at home, help rebuilding daily routines, opportunities to reconnect with your community, or support returning to employment, our team can help you explore the services that may be appropriate for your circumstances and approved plan.

Getting started is simple:

How Do I Transfer My ABI Waiver Services to SLG?

Changing your provider agency involves coordination with your ABI Waiver care manager. You do not have to navigate the process alone. Here are the steps to get started.

Step 1 – Speak With Your ABI Waiver Care Manager

Let your care manager know that you are interested in exploring a change in service provider. You can ask for an updated list of qualified agencies that provide the services you currently receive and serve your geographic area.

Your care manager can help explain your available choices and the steps involved in changing providers.

Step 2 – Contact The Supported Living Group

Reach out to our team to discuss your interest in transferring services. We would like to learn more about:

Where you live and the services you currently receive.
Your authorized ABI Waiver services.
Your personal goals and current support needs.
What is working well and what you would like to see improve.
Your preferred schedule, staffing needs, and communication preferences.

This initial conversation provides an opportunity to learn more about SLG and determine whether we may be an appropriate provider for you.

Step 3 – Meet With Our Team and Explore Your Options

We can discuss our service offerings, approach to individualized support, staffing considerations, and current availability in your area.

You should have an opportunity to ask questions, understand how we work, and decide whether you feel comfortable moving forward.

Step 4 – Coordinate the Provider Change With Your Care Manager

Once you decide that SLG is the provider you would like to work with, the transition must be coordinated with your ABI Waiver care manager.

Together, the appropriate arrangements can be made to address your service plan, any required updates or approvals, and the services you are authorized to receive through the waiver.

Step 5 – Establish a Transition Plan

Before services begin, we will work with you and your care manager to coordinate the transition, including the anticipated start date, staffing arrangements, and service schedule.

Our goal is to make the process as organized and straightforward as possible while helping minimize unnecessary interruptions to your services.

Step 6 – Begin Working Toward Your Goals

Once the necessary arrangements are completed, SLG can begin working with you to implement your authorized services.

We want to understand what is important to you, establish a positive working relationship, and develop an approach that supports your independence, personal goals, and participation in your community.

Considering a Change in Your ABI Waiver Provider?

You have a choice in who provides your services. That choice should reflect your needs, your goals, and the kind of relationship you want with the people supporting you.

Perhaps your circumstances have changed. Maybe your current services are no longer meeting your needs, communication has become difficult, staffing has been inconsistent, or you are looking for a provider with a different approach to supporting your independence and personal goals.

Whatever the reason, you may wish to explore whether another provider agency would be a better fit.

At The Supported Living Group, we welcome conversations with ABI Waiver participants who are considering a change in providers. Our goal is to understand what matters to you, learn about your current support needs, and determine whether our services and approach may be appropriate for your circumstances.
