What We Offer
In-home support, designed around the person.
Every individual we work with brings their own goals, routines, and family context. Our services flex to fit, in the home and in the community where life actually happens.
NAMI Independent Living supports adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We work alongside families, support coordinators, and other providers to make sure care is well-coordinated and steady over time.
What follows is a starting point. The right mix of services for any one person is something we figure out together.
Daily Living
Companion Care
Trusted, friendly support in the home. Help with routines, errands, meals, transportation, and the quiet companionship that makes a day feel steady. Our caregivers are matched thoughtfully and show up consistently.
