What support looks like

Care that fits real life, not a checklist

Visits are planned around the person. The goal is not perfect notes. The goal is a day that feels smoother and more possible.

Life skills at home
Morning and evening routines, meal prep, laundry, room care, gentle prompts, and visual supports.
Campus and community support
Help with class schedules, finding rooms, walking campus, and staying connected to services.
Planning and organization
Calendars, reminders, appointments, and simple systems so nothing important slips through.
Social and emotional support
Practice for conversation, boundaries, texting, and friendships in a way that feels safe.
Money and decision skills
Budgeting, small purchases, digital payments, and learning to pause before saying yes.
Job and volunteer readiness
Building routines, practicing rides, and learning expectations for work and community roles.

Person centered from day one

Every plan starts with the person. We learn what feels safe, what feels too much, and what success looks like for them, not just for the system.

You can expect honest updates in plain language, not jargon. Regional Center staff, Self Determination teams, and families stay on the same page.

Respectful visits, never rushed

Staff arrive on time, greet the person first, and move at a pace the person can handle. Home is treated as a safe place, never a work site.

Modern tools that still feel human

We use secure digital tools for notes and schedules so families spend less time chasing paperwork and more time living life.

Before bttr living I felt like I had to manage everything on my own. Now my son has a coach he trusts and I have a partner who listens, explains the system, and stays calm when I am not.

My participant smiles when staff walk in. They respect his pace, support his art classes, and communicate clearly with our team. It feels like a real partnership, not another vendor number.

I was nervous about someone new in my space. My coach checked in before every change and helped me practice rides to college and back. Now I feel more ready, not more watched.
