Personal Supports

A program that provides learning-assisted daily living skills in areas such as hygiene, medication administration, health awareness, personal care, household management, and budgeting.

Why Personal Supports matter

Personal Supports services are crucial because they empower adults with disabilities to live more independently. By offering assistance with daily activities, health care appointments, and community engagement, these services enhance skills and confidence for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to participate in their communities. This program emphasizes person-centered care, respect for individual choice, and the promotion of dignity and autonomy for each person.
