Is LiveAbility an assisted living facility?
No. Centers for Independent Living (CILs) and Assisted Living Facilities are two distinct types of living arrangements designed to cater to different needs and preferences. CILs are community-based organizations that empower people with disabilities to live independently and integrate fully into society. They offer various support services, resources, and advocacy to help individuals with disabilities lead self-directed lives and make their own choices.
Do programs through LiveAbility cost money?
Centers for Independent Living (CILs) are remarkable community-based organizations dedicated to promoting independence and empowerment for individuals with disabilities. One of the most remarkable aspects of CILs is that they provide their valuable core services and support completely free of charge. By offering a range of services, resources, and advocacy without any financial burden on the individuals they serve, CILs ensure that people with disabilities can access the assistance they need to lead self-directed lives and fully participate in their communities, regardless of their financial circumstances.
What types of disability are covered?
Centers for Independent Living (CILs) are inclusive and welcoming community-based organizations that champion the rights of individuals with disabilities. One of the fundamental principles of CILs is that they serve people with all types of disabilities. Whether it’s physical, sensory, cognitive, or mental health-related disabilities, CILs provide tailored support and resources to address the unique needs and aspirations of each individual. Their commitment to inclusivity ensures that anyone facing challenges due to a disability can find a supportive and empowering environment through CIL services, fostering greater independence and enhancing the quality of life for all.
Will I need a medical history, or proof of my disability to use your services?
At Centers for Independent Living (CILs), accessibility and support are available to individuals with disabilities without the need for any medical proof or documentation. CILs operate on a philosophy of self-determination, recognizing that individuals are best placed to identify their own needs. This inclusive approach ensures that people seeking assistance and resources for living independently and participating fully in their communities can access CIL services without any burdensome medical requirements. By eliminating the need for medical proof, CILs create an empowering environment that respects the autonomy and agency of every individual, fostering an atmosphere of trust and understanding.
