Personal assistants will help individuals to achieve whatever they wish but cannot do on their own.  Living agencies are consumer-controlled, community-based, and provide an array of services.

The goal is to maximize the empowerment, independence and productivity of individuals.

The services provide include (but are not limited to):

  • Accompanying to appointments
  • Running errands
  • Cooking
  • Driving
  • Shopping
  • Gardening
  • Ironing
  • Laundry
  • Housekeeping
  • Leisure activities
  • Social outings
  • Ensuring safety
  • Companionship
  • Assisting with correspondence
  • Note taking

Independent Living Agencies ensure that each individual is treated with respect resulting in independence, choices, living well, flexibility, efficiency and self-determination.
