On-time, immediate short-term or emergency coverage when a person’s usual caregiver is away or needs a break.

Personal Support Companion

Help with daily living plus real companionship, so each person can gain, keep or improve their skills.

Goods and Services

Funding for items in a person’s ISP that improve quality of life, like memberships, classes and summer programs.

Expressions

In their own words

What we hear from the people we support is the best measure of our work.

“My home, safe home”“I can’t believe I did it”“This is MY family”“It’s been 10 years since I saw my son”“I lost enough weight, now I can ride a horse”“Look! I am the best man in my brother’s wedding”“We are married and live together”“Look! I have a badge”“I didn’t get sick on the plane and I’ve never been on one before”“I’m not on a diet, I’m just eating right”“I love my life, my job and my home”“I have 2 families that love me”“We love Expressions of Life”“Thanks for being there for me”
