User-members live in their own apartment or condominium at Artspace Housing Co-op. Artspace is a vibrant 88 unit Co-op that offers housing to a diverse community of 180 people, including people with disabilities and seniors. Up to 30 Co-op members use the home care services of SAIL. Each user-member of SAIL is responsible for directing the home care staff as to how best to meet their needs. The user-member also has a say as to when their care time is scheduled. SAIL’s unique model of home care offers maximum independence to the user members.
