Independence is built one everyday skill at a time.

Nezia Care is a community-based Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) provider. Our Supported Community Living (SCL) services help each person live as independently as possible while staying connected to the people and places that matter to them.

Support is shaped around the individual: their needs, preferences, goals and approved service plan. Our mission is to enable persons with disabilities to live in and access the resources of the community around them, and to realize their full potential.

Adults with intellectual disabilities

Building the routines, home skills and confidence that make independent living work day to day.

Adults living with brain injury

Rebuilding structure after a TBI, with prompting and practice that respects how far someone has already come.

Adults living with mental illness

Steady, person-centered support for health, safety, relationships and taking part in community life.

Daily living, at home

We help people develop and keep the skills of running a home: cooking, cleaning, laundry, budgeting for groceries, and keeping a routine that works.

  • Daily living and independent living skills
  • Household and home-management skills
  • A safe and healthy living environment

Out in the community

Community is where people find friends, purpose and belonging. We support people to get there and take part, on their own terms.

  • Community integration and participation
  • Social, recreational and cultural activities
  • Finding and using community resources

Built with the whole team

We work closely with each person, their family or guardian, case manager, MCO and interdisciplinary team, so services follow the approved plan and the person's own goals.
