Our approach to supporting individuals with developmental disabilities is person-centered, focusing on each person's strengths, interests, and goals.

This can lead to greater confidence, self-esteem, and overall well-being.
Companion Services

This can include activities that are tailored to their interests and hobbies, as well as assistance with tasks that may be challenging or stressful.
This can play a critical role in supporting the emotional and social well-being of individuals who are elderly, have a disability, or are recovering from an illness or injury, by providing social connection, emotional support, and assistance with practical tasks, which ultimately can help the individual to feel more engaged, connected, and fulfilled.

These services are designed to help individuals with tasks that they may find challenging due to physical or cognitive limitations.
Personal care services can include assistance with tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and eating. They may also include assistance with mobility, medication management, and other activities that are necessary for daily living.
Independent Living, ages 18+
Our approach is to learn about the individual’s specific needs in other to help promote social connections and community involvement, which can be important for overall well-being. By providing support for accessing community resources and participating in community activities, individuals can develop important social connections and feel more connected to their communities.
