Building Skills for Independent Living

A 21-year-old woman currently lives with her mother but dreams of living on her own.

She receives support from her mother for meals and money management but wants to develop her own skills.

Through Individualized Home Support (IHS), she receives 8 hours of weekly support to learn

  • Budgeting and money management
  • Grocery shopping
  • Cooking and meal preparation

Additionally, she receives 15 hours of PCA (Personal Care Assistance) each week to help with her physical needs related to Cerebral Palsy, which affects her mobility.

The Path to Independence

At Hero Homecare, we believe that independence brings empowerment and pride.

As individuals grow in confidence and ability, they begin to need less paid staff and develop more natural supports — such as family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and others in their community.

We help each person:

  • Participate in community events like picnics, classes, or social gatherings
  • Build long-term relationships with people who matter to them
  • Feel a sense of belonging and self-worth

Our role is to teach, support, and create opportunities for growth — then gradually step back as individuals become more independent and confident in their abilities.
