How does Lifehouse help its independent living clients?
We offer support services and training for adults with mild disabilities so they develop the living and social skills needed for living independently. Our clients learn how to be mobile and social in their communities, shop for necessities, prepare meals, manage their finances, and take care of their personal items, health needs and household surroundings. We work with each individual to develop a comprehensive plan that will help them reach their goal of independence. Once clients are living in their own apartments, we offer counselor support on a regular basis, which averages 20 – 30 hours per month.
