Supported Living Residences


The Program

Within the framework of the Supported Living program, ALMA has established and operates three Supported Living Residences and one Protected Apartment, aiming to ensure independent and high-quality living for people with disabilities (or to prepare them for it), as a fundamental human right. Today, ALMA operates three Supported Living Residences: the “Lena” Residence in Palaio Faliro, where the group from the first Residence “My Home” was relocated; the “Pisti” Residence in Palaio Faliro; and the “Marismi” Residence in Ilioupoli. The apartments are privately owned and located in residential buildings within the local community. The staff of the Supported Living structures consists of highly trained professionals who are passionate about their work.

The Supported Living program is addressed to adults over 18 years old with mild or moderate intellectual disability, Down syndrome, and high-functioning autism, who wish to live independently and make the most of their abilities. Residents of the Supported Living Residences live together and share meaningful experiences, building their autonomy and creating lifelong relationships with one another. The Residences operate throughout the year, and participation is lifelong (members may remain in the program indefinitely as long as they continue to meet the admission criteria). Through the program, residents develop daily living skills (cleaning, personal hygiene, cooking, etc.), become more independent, and actively participate in their community. Group outings (cinema, cafés, etc.), excursions, and holidays are frequent! At the same time, residents learn to take care of themselves through healthy nutrition and light physical exercise. Residents also receive weekly psychosocial support, while their families are offered counseling twice a month. The ultimate goal of the Supported Living Residences is their equal social inclusion.

The S.L.R. staff is composed of highly trained professionals who truly love their field of work. The staff team includes: Supervisor, Operations Manager, Clinical Psychologist, Social Worker, Special Educator, Occupational Therapist, and Caregivers.

The purpose of ALMA’s structures is, through individualized programs based on the needs and preferences of the residents, to help individuals participate more autonomously and actively in their social and natural environment, through activities such as:


  • Management of personal space and time
  • Socialization and engagement with opportunities offered by the community
  • Training in group-living rules
  • Road safety education / Money management
  • Personal hygiene
  • Cleaning and household tasks
  • Cooking – baking / shopping
  • Individual and group creative activities (art workshop)
  • Exercise – integrating physical activity into daily life
  • Group outings (cinema, walk, café, etc.)
  • Learning and adopting a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition and light exercise

The Program

To date, ALMA operates two Supported Living Residences: the S.L.R. “MY HOME” in Palaio Faliro and the S.L.R. “MARISMI” in Ilioupoli. The “MARISMI” Residence has been operating since January 2021 in a newly built apartment. All apartments are located in residential buildings within the local community.

The Supported Living program is addressed to adults over 18 years old with mild or moderate intellectual disability, Down syndrome, and high-functioning autism who wish to live independently and make the most of their abilities.

Residents of the Supported Living Residences live together and share meaningful moments, building their autonomy and forming lifelong relationships with one another. The S.L.R. operate throughout the year, and the residents’ stay is lifelong (members may remain in the program indefinitely as long as they continue to meet the admission criteria).

Through the program, residents develop daily living skills (cleaning, personal hygiene, cooking, etc.), become more autonomous, and actively participate in their community. Group outings (cinema, cafés, etc.), excursions, and holidays are frequent! At the same time, residents learn to take care of themselves through healthy nutrition and light exercise.

Residents also receive weekly psychosocial support and their families receive counseling twice a month.

The ultimate goal of the S.L.R. is their equal social inclusion.

The staff of the S.L.R. consists of highly trained professionals who are passionate about their work. The team includes: Supervisor, Operations Manager, Clinical Psychologist, Social Worker, Special Educator, Occupational Therapist, and Caregivers.
