Supported Living at Nova Z Health Services
At Nova Z Health Services, we believe every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive in the comfort of their home and community. Our Supported Living services provide person-centered care designed to meet unique physical, emotional, and developmental needs.
Whether building essential life skills, receiving daily personal care assistance, or providing family caregivers with well-deserved relief, our dedicated team is committed to delivering reliable, compassionate support every step of the way.
Our Services
Dedicated Support for the Arizona DDD Community
At Nova Z Health, we provide a range of Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) designed to promote independence and provide peace of mind for families.
Habilitation
Focusing on Growth and Goal Achievement
Our Habilitation services are designed to help members develop, maintain, and improve the skills necessary for daily living. We focus on person-centered goals—from mastering self-care and social skills to learning how to navigate the community safely.
Our Approach: We work closely with the Individual Support Plan (ISP) to ensure every hour spent is an hour moving toward a more independent future.
Attendant Care
Essential Support for Daily Life
We provide hands-on assistance to help members remain safely in their own homes. Our trained Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) assist with essential tasks such as:
Personal care (bathing, grooming, and hygiene)
Meal preparation and nutrition
Light housekeeping related to the member’s needs
Assistance with mobility and community access
Respite Care
Supporting the Strength of the Family
Caregiving is a journey that requires balance. Our Respite services offer primary caregivers a necessary break, knowing their loved one is in safe, capable hands. Whether it’s for a few hours or a planned weekend, we provide consistent, high-quality supervision and engagement.
