Coordinated Family Support · Service Code 076
Empowering adults and families to live independently at home.
Empower Life Skills, LLC helps adults with developmental disabilities and their families discover, connect with, and navigate the community resources that sustain a life of independence and dignity in the family home.
Who we serve
Adults 18 and older, living at home with family.
We partner with consumers of the North Los Angeles County Regional Center and their families, with priority focus on four groups where the need runs deepest.
Families with aging parents
We work with aging caregivers to build a lasting plan, setting up reliable community supports so a loved one keeps living safely at home.
Multilingual households
Guidance in your family’s native language, so cultural and communication barriers never sit between you and the resources you deserve.
Adults building independence
Personalized travel training and hands-on coaching that teach consumers to use public transit and move through their neighborhoods safely.
North LA County communities
Headquartered in Canoga Park, we bring resources directly to families across the San Fernando, Santa Clarita, and Antelope Valleys.
Core services
Four pillars of Coordinated Family Support.
Delivered in your home and out in your own community. No office visits required, no waiting rooms.
Person-centered assessment and planning
We sit down together in your home to listen to your story, goals, and daily routines, then build the plan around them.
Community resource and system navigation
We help you identify, apply for, and unlock the programs your family is entitled to receive, from IHSS to Social Security.
Independent living skills and travel training
Real-world coaching in bus routes, transit apps, budgeting, scheduling, and speaking up for yourself.
Backup planning and long-term stability
Emergency backup plans and a network of natural supports, so care is never disrupted.
Our philosophy
Support should get lighter over time, not heavier.
Think of our support like scaffolding on a building. We step in with hands-on guidance from day one to help you build a strong foundation. As your confidence and skills grow, we gradually step back, empowering your family to lead the way with lasting independence.
We meet face to face to understand your household needs, map out goals, and design a customized support plan.
We provide active, hands-on skill building, travel training, and system navigation alongside your family.
As skills and natural supports take root, we step back so your family leads independently.
