Living Innovations in Rhode Island
We are Rhode Island's preferred provide of Shared Living Arrangements (SLA) for individuals with disabilities.
Exclusively providing Shared Living Arrangements makes Living Innovations the local experts in this highly personalized support. We have been successfully supporting SLAs throughout Rhode Island for the longest period of time among all of the state’s provider agencies. Some of the people we support have been with the same Home Provider for more than 19 years.
We are dedicated to being Rhode Island’s provider of choice for Shared Living. We accomplish this by putting the people we support at the center of all we do and providing excellent customer service to all team participants, including family members, guardians and social case workers. This commitment is demonstrated by the fact we respond to more requests for emergency services than any other Shared Living provider in Rhode Island. We support SLAs in every county and corner of the state.
Our Rhode Island management team has extensive expertise and experience in providing services for people with a broad range of intellectual and developmental disabilities. That depth of experience allows us to provide comprehensive, personalized and inclusive services to meet the very unique needs of each person we serve.
