Trivium offers two levels of Supported Community Living services designed to meet the daily living needs of adults with disabilities and mental illness. Each level of support is thoughtfully determined in partnership with the individual, guardians, case managers, and providers to ensure the right balance of independence and assistance — while also providing peace of mind for families and caregivers.
Residential Services
In our full-time Residential Services, individuals live as independently as possible in a home with two to three roommates, with staff support available up to 24 hours per day based on individual needs.
We believe home should feel like home. Individuals choose the house, duplex, or apartment that feels right to them. Each residence offers three or four bedrooms, with one person per bedroom to ensure privacy and comfort. Before moving in, potential roommates meet to determine if they are a good fit, helping foster respectful and supportive living environments.
Support levels are flexible and guided by each person’s service plan. Depending on the needs of those living in the home, staff may be available onsite up to 24 hours per day, with adjustments made as needs evolve. Individuals are encouraged and empowered to make choices based on their preferences, interests, and goals. To ensure access for those in need, Trivium opens new homes as referrals increase.
Hourly Support
For individuals who live with family or in their own homes, Trivium also provides flexible hourly services. Support may include medication monitoring, transportation to medical appointments, assistance with cooking and cleaning, and opportunities to build meaningful community connections. Whatever a person’s level of need, our team is here to provide steady, respectful support. (Hourly Support are not offered at our Council Bluffs location.)
