...Continued from "Supportive"

The project demonstrates that with good management of hotels, incentives to upgrade and improve hotel premises, and support services for hotel residents, hotels will be safer and healthier and residents will achieve an improved quality of life. The success that Lookout has had in previous partnerships with privately-owned hotels has provided a model for supported hotels.

As in other programs, Lookout services include assistance with medication, help with money management and budgeting, teaching life skills, referrals to other services and agencies, information, crisis intervention, and monitoring of physical and mental health. The TSW is also able to accompany tenants to appointments if needed, to visit them in hospital and to accompany them on shopping trips to increase their ability to plan healthy meals and improve their nutrition.
