New Avenues to Independence offers Community-Based Services for adults 18 years and older with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who want residential support in their home with activities of daily living (ADLs), while staying engaged in their community. Currently, our team serves over 30 people across Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, and Lake counties.
Community-based services play a vital role in the lives of our individuals. We listen to each individual and customize our services to meet each of their personalized goals. Therefore, each of our services focuses on supporting our individuals to achieve their highest level of independence possible, through things like:
-
Cultivating relationships with housemates
-
Developing life skills, including money management and activities of daily living, like laundry and cooking
-
Meaningful activities throughout the day, such as volunteering or engaging in the community
-
Connecting individuals to meaningful opportunities in the community
-
Being good neighbors
The goal is for our individuals to graduate from our services someday. Until then, we are here to empower them as they develop the skills and social connections to participate independently at home and in their community, beginning their new path to independence.
