Can residents in a CILA create their own schedules?

Residents in a Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) have the right to establish their own daily routines and schedules. This aligns with the core philosophy of CILA, which emphasizes person-centered care and the importance of individual choice and autonomy. Allowing residents to create their own schedules supports their independence and encourages participation in decision-making processes related to their lives.

This aspect of CILA enhances the quality of life for residents, as it recognizes their preferences, needs, and personal goals. It fosters an environment where individuals can exercise control over their daily activities, which is fundamental to their well-being and dignity. By promoting self-determination, CILAs aim to create a supportive and empowering environment for all residents.
