Welcome to L.I.F.E Skills
Life skills, to a great many people have various connotations. It may be that life skills are of a physical nature where mere exercising and a properly prescribed diet is what are required to meet your client’s objectives. Everyday life skills for the vast minority take on an entirely new meaning. The process of each movement and thought can be exhausting and somewhat overwhelming, not only for the individual requiring the much needed skill, but to the family members or care givers, assisting loved ones, their children and spouse, or just a close friend. Energy, patience and a full heart are key attributes and will undoubtedly reward both yourself and the person you are caring for, paving a road for possible lifelong relationships.

It is important to note that the facilitator should be made aware of behavioral patterns of the individual they are responsible for. Our Information Survey allows us to properly highlight areas of special routines, medications, allergies and vital likes and dislikes etc. This will eventually allow the Facilitator to bond more personally and gain the confidence of the child or adult in their care.
Communicating with the family enables the L.I.F.E.
