Independent Supported Living (ISL) means having both freedom and reassurance. It allows people to live in homes that are truly theirs and make their own choices while surrounded by peers and staff who feel like family.
Where Comfort Meets Confidence
Our ISL homes for adults with disabilities in Kansas City, MO, are more than a place to live. They’re communities where people have the freedom to choose how they spend their day, with compassionate support always on standby.
Every person sets their own goals, and we meet them wherever they are. From cooking and cleaning to budgeting and safety awareness, we inspire self-reliance and pride through real-world learning.
Everyone deserves the power of choice. At Harmony House, ISL isn’t about doing something for someone, but doing it with them. We provide the space and support people need to achieve their goals, their way.

Once we’ve established compatibility, we invite potential residents to visit the home and meet current residents, as well as the support staff. From there, the final decision is made together, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and confident moving forward.
