Personalized support helping you live confidently and independently

At Building Bloch’s Pathways, we believe that every adult with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) deserves the opportunity to live a full, independent life in a home of their own. Our compassionate care in California ensures that our Independent Living Services (ILS) provide the guidance, training, and support needed to make this vision a reality.

Independent Living Services (ILS)

Our Independent Living Services are designed to equip individuals with the practical skills they need to live independently and confidently. Through intensive training, ILS focuses on:

  • Mobility and Community Access – Navigating transportation, attending appointments, and engaging in community activities.
  • Budgeting and Money Management – Managing finances, paying bills, and making informed financial decisions.
  • Personal and Grocery Shopping – Planning, purchasing, and preparing daily necessities.
  • Cooking and Housekeeping – Preparing meals, maintaining a safe and clean home, and developing essential daily living routines.

The ultimate goal of ILS is to maximize independence and autonomy, helping individuals reduce reliance on paid supports while building the confidence and skills necessary for self-directed living.

Creating Independence Through Daily Life Support

Independent living support empowers individuals with developmental disabilities to lead fulfilling lives within their communities. By offering tailored guidance and assistance, including programs like life skills training in Fremont, California, people can strengthen daily living skills, build confidence, and engage meaningfully in their neighborhoods. Our approach emphasizes personal growth, autonomy, and active participation in community life, ensuring that support adapts to each individual’s unique needs and goals.

Practical Benefits of Independent Living Support

It combines practical life skills coaching with personalized strategies to help individuals thrive independently and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
