Lifetime Assistance recognizes that a safe and comfortable home is essential for achieving independence, dignity, and inclusive community living. Our goal is to enhance each person’s life by providing supports and services that meet individualized needs. A dedicated team works in partnership with each person and their circle of supports to create a person-centered plan that allows personal control over all aspects of their life and promotes increased independence.

Opportunities

Apartments

Apartments are located throughout the Rochester area and support services are provided based on each person’s needs. Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are available from a few hours per week to twenty-four hours a day.

Homes

Lifetime Assistance offers a variety of different homes providing the supports necessary for people to achieve independence. Highly qualified DSPs provide training, guidance, and support at the level necessary to meet each person’s needs.

Perfect Fit/Family Care

Everyone deserves a chance to find their fit in life. For people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who live outside the family home, it can be challenging to achieve a true sense of belonging and personal fulfillment. Our Perfect Fit program provides a safe, natural, family setting for people to receive the care and support they need, with independence to explore their own interests. It offers a unique residential setting that welcomes people with warmth, compassion, and encouragement, enabling them to gain a genuine feeling of acceptance through stable relationships and community participation. Perfect Fit providers receive training and ongoing supports from Lifetime Assistance staff.
