Life is Worth Living provides personalized support for community access outings, daily living activities, and specialized respite services tailored to individual needs. We also assist with life transitions such as independent living, education support, and short-term emergency accommodation.
Our office and home base, “The Nest,” located in Newtown, offers various resources to enhance social skills and daily living capacity. With a fully equipped kitchen, biking and outdoor equipment, and a range of indoor activities, we provide plenty of choices during our support sessions. Many people find “The Nest” to be a place of relaxation and comfort, often referring to it as a “second home.”
Research shows that relationships greatly influence our well-being, learning, and health. At Life is Worth Living, we prioritize developing and sustaining trust-based professional relationships with those we support. Our team’s overall focus is to make a positive difference in the lives of those we support by enhancing lifestyle experiences, ensuring that everyone feels heard, valued, and fulfilled at the end of each session.
We promote collaborative communication between family members, support coordinators, the therapy team, and our Life is Worth Living team. Our dedicated staff plays an essential role in providing ongoing interactive support and helping people flourish. We ensure to close the communication loop by sharing experiences and successes with everyone involved in the lives of those we care for.
