Skills, practiced where life happens
One-on-one coaching in the skills of daily life, taught in the person’s own kitchen, on their own bus route, and with their own budget.
What this service is
Independence is built one skill at a time. Individualized home supports with training pairs each person with a support worker who teaches, models, and practices the skills in their plan, from cooking a week of meals and managing a budget to riding transit and keeping up with health appointments.
Every goal is written with the person, in plain language, with a way to tell when it’s been reached. Progress is tracked and shared with the care team. Training happens in real settings, because that’s where the skills will be used.

Things families and case managers ask us
What’s the difference between “with training” and “without training”?
Home supports with training is outcome-based: it’s designed to teach a skill the person will do more independently over time. Support without a training component simply helps get the task done.
How are goals chosen?
By the person, first. We meet with them and the people who know them best, review the support plan and assessment, and write goals that matter to them, in their words.
How do you track progress?
Each session is documented against the person’s goals, and we share summaries with the case manager and family at agreed intervals, so everyone can see what’s working.
