Who It’s For

People living with family or on their own who want to run more of their own life.

Learning a daily living skill with support

How We Help

One-on-one coaching, weekly or monthly, in whatever the next skill happens to be.

What It Makes Possible

Fewer things you have to ask for help with, and more things you simply do.

How We Show Up.

Whatever the day needs, the same team has it covered. Eight areas of support, held by people who know you.

Budgeting & Money Skills

Where the money goes, what is left, and how to make it last the month.

Household Set-up

Setting up a home that works, and keeping it that way.

Housing & Shared Living

Finding somewhere to live, and getting on with roommates, landlords, and neighbors.

Safety & Emergencies

What to do when something goes wrong, practiced before it does.

Home Upkeep

Cleaning, laundry, repairs, and the things that pile up if nobody does them.

Meals & Grocery Routines

Planning a week of meals, shopping for them, and cooking them.

Appointments & Benefits

Keeping on top of appointments, providers, and benefits paperwork.

Transportation & Community

Reading a bus schedule, making the trip, and getting yourself home.

The Team Behind the Care.

The people behind the day to day. Their job is to make your life feel more like yours, not more like a program. This is our Supported Living team, who take on Independent Living Skills from November.
