Development-Life Skills

Development-Life Skills

We understand that everyone’s care needs are completely unique. Some people are happier receiving support in a shared accommodation with other community members, while others would rather be looked after in the comfort of their own home. With us, you can decide where you receive care — that way you can keep living independently wherever you feel most comfortable.

We will engage and work with you to understand your goals and build a plan to improve your daily living skills to build your confidence and independence. To assist you on managing these challenges, we offer a range of training and development activities, aimed at building your capacity to manage day‐to‐day life, through the development of your knowledge, skills and networks of support.
