Services We Provide

Information & Referral
JCIL maintains up-to-date data on local agencies and services, offering accurate and timely information about community resources. We also provide referrals to additional services essential for independent living, such as job placement, home health care, and transportation.

Peer Support
Peer-to-peer support is a vital aspect of Independent Living. JCIL connects individuals with peers who offer encouragement, guidance, and shared experiences to foster independence and confidence.

Skills Training
Skills training is a key part of the journey toward independence. JCIL helps individuals learn everything from daily living tasks and communication methods to managing personal assistants and using adaptive equipment. A wide range of training is offered and specialized topics are taught by qualified professionals.

Home Modifications
JCIL helps individuals make necessary modifications to their homes, allowing them to live independently rather than in nursing homes or institutions.

Transition from Nursing Homes
JCIL assists individuals in transitioning from nursing homes or institutions back into their community. Services include home modifications, peer support, and individualized planning for successful reintegration.
