Overview of New Vista Community’s Programs

Group Homes
We offer a group home setting at our “Ranch” which is located on a 15-acre donated parcel of land in the northwest area of Las Vegas. Our professional staff is dedicated to improving life skills, maximizing awareness, and reducing the effects of stigma associated with people who are intellectually challenged.. 

Transitional Supported Living Arrangements (TSLA)
TSLA programs target more independent individuals who are able to live on their own, maintain good health and be relatively free of danger.  Placements are made in accordance with client needs, ranging from minimal support to high supervision for up to four individuals in a home of their choice. 

Supportive Living Arrangements (SLA)
We offer three levels of support in the Supportive Living Arrangement (SLA) program. Each home in this program is located in different areas throughout the Las Vegas Valley.  The levels of service provided are as follows:

SLA: supports individuals that have mastered several life skills and only need assistance and/or guidance in a few areas.  This program offers the most independence for residents.  Generally, there is a limited staff presence of ten to twenty hours per week, with no overnight supervision.

SLA+: supports individuals who require 24-hour staff assistance including overnight sleep supervision.

ISLA (Intensive SLA): supports individuals with increased behavioral and medical needs that require around-the-clock support.

In-Home is when the individual is still living at home with parents or guardians. This program provides pre-training for individuals to see if they would be capable of leaving home and living in one of the placements mentioned above. Typically the training period does not exceed three (3) months.
