Description
Support to individuals with disabilities who are living independently in their own homes or apartments. Support is offered according to the needs of each individual, allowing them to communicate the exact support they would like or require. Support falls into various categories including money management, cooking, health and safety and socialization. Staffing tends to be very flexible so each individual's needs can be addressed. Due to the flexibility of hours and the emphasis on individualism, Supported Living has proven to be a successful and necessary component of community-based services.

Support to people with disabilities living with their parents or guardians and support for the caregiver(s).

CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Evergreen has experienced a decrease in Medicaid funding support & an increase in the cost of living expenses over the last three years, translating into a projected net loss of income for the agency as a whole. The good news is that the Tennessee program services are on target with a balanced budget.However, Evergreen was faced with another change that briefly alters the solvency of the organization. The impact of the Affordable Care Act to the entire Evergreen organization was immense, but particularly the impact to the Tennessee organization is represented below:35% = Annual Percentage Increase in Health Insurance Costs to entire Evergreen operations.$1,250,000 = Annual Dollar Increase in Health Insurance Costs to entire Evergreen operations.Evergreen is taking every step to apply for grant funding opportunities and to develop more social entrepreneurial program ideas and more revenue generating ideas that are mission driven in order to counteract these trends.Please note: the above financial figures are only for the services provided by the Tennessee region's organization. |
