Signs this might help

Daily routines still rely heavily on reminders or support from family.

Cooking, cleaning or laundry haven't yet become independent tasks.

There's a genuine desire for more independence, without knowing where to start.

Moving toward independent or shared living feels like a big unknown.

Organisation and keeping track of belongings or schedules is a constant challenge.
