The primary goal of the People’s Care Supported Living Services (SLS) and the People’s CareIndependent Living Skills (ILS) training program is to provide the support an individual needs to become as self-sufficient as possible. This support is completely customized to take into account the person’s needs and wants, and often include helping him or her:

Our People’s Care Independent Living Skills Training Program goes one step further by helping individuals master the skills they are capable of mastering in order to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.
