Empower Your Independence with bttr.

Independent Living Services (ILS)

What is Independent Living Services (ILS)?

Independent Living Services (ILS) help individuals with developmental disabilities live as independently as possible in their own homes and communities. Our services are tailored to the needs and goals of each participant, assisting them with daily living, personal care, and achieving greater autonomy.

(Per Title 17, Section 58600)

How bttr. Does ILS Differently

Most ILS programs focus on generic staffing models. bttr. focuses on people—ensuring that each participant’s support is personalized, consistent, and evolving to meet their goals.

At bttr., we bring a fresh, structured approach to ILS. By combining personalized care, trained staff, and smart coordination, we ensure that each participant’s support evolves with their goals. We focus on:

  • Personalized Support Plans: Designed to center safety, dignity, and autonomy, each plan reflects the participant’s individual needs and aspirations.

  • Dedicated, Trained Team Members: Consistent, trained staff that provide continuity in care—no revolving-door staffing.

  • Clear Communication: Ongoing communication with families, case managers, and support teams ensures everyone stays informed.

  • Flexible Support Models: Whether it’s 1:1 or group living, we offer flexible options for personalized care.

  • Modern Documentation Systems: We utilize efficient systems to ensure that nothing is lost, delayed, or overlooked.

Why it matters

  • For Families: Peace of mind knowing your loved one is receiving the care they need to live independently.

  • For Case Managers: Reliable, high-quality service with clear and consistent documentation and communication.

  • For Participants: The ability to live independently, with the support they need to feel empowered and safe at home.

At bttr., we don’t just provide services—we offer a structured, goal-oriented path to independence through our bttr. Skill Sets. These skill sets are designed to empower participants by breaking down key life skills into manageable, achievable goals. We use these skills as a framework for supporting participants in becoming more independent and confident in their daily lives.
