What is SBC Guided Living
Guided Living or semi-independent living allows clients of a higher cognitive level to live semi-independently among others in the community. These clients go to work daily and plan their own activities with the help of their mentors.
Clients of Guided Living have been trained in personal hygiene, daily chores, and finding their way in the community. All clients of Guided Living have to be 18 years or older.
They must be able to take care of their apartment, prepare their meals, and budget their finances. Supervision and help with this are offered on-site.
​

After the documents are received, we meet with the client and family. The AVBZ care request form is completed and sent to the AVBZ with the documents and the report of the social worker. Once approved and with sufficient space, the admission date is planned. If there is no space open, the client is placed on the waiting list.
