Transitional Apartment Program A supervised transitional apartment program is located in the Town of Colonie. Designed and built by Wildwood Programs, it blends the best of living in a family or group home with living on one's own. Residents can simulate independent living while receiving support, feedback and training from staff. Supported Living Many individuals live in their own apartments or homes. They may live alone or with a roommate who is also disabled in an apartment that Wildwood rents for them.
Individuals also rent their own apartments, sometimes with state funding.
Others own their homes, which their families may have purchased for them. In any of these settings, the individual may live with a nondisabled roommate who provides assistance and companionship. Whatever the arrangement, Wildwood staff are in the home as often as the person requires. For some this may be once a week for a few hours to help with budgeting or provide transportation to a community activity. For others it may be every day for much longer periods of time.
