Development-Life Skills

Living independently requires more than just physical ability – it requires the development of essential life skills that enable you to manage your daily life with confidence and competence. At Loretto Villa, we offer a comprehensive Development-Life Skills program designed to help you gain the practical knowledge and abilities you need to live as independently as possible.

Our tailored programs cover a wide range of life skills, from managing finances to maintaining personal hygiene, all designed to foster independence and self-reliance.

What we offer

Budgeting and Money Management

Learning to manage your finances is a crucial skill for independent living. We offer budgeting workshops and one-on-one support to help you understand how to manage your income, pay bills, save for the future, and make informed financial decisions. You’ll learn how to prioritize expenses, track spending, and develop financial habits that support your independence.

Meal Planning and Cooking Skills

Cooking for yourself is not only a valuable life skill but also a way to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Our cooking programs teach you how to plan nutritious meals, shop for ingredients, and prepare food safely and efficiently. You’ll learn essential cooking techniques, meal prep strategies, and how to create balanced, delicious meals that fit your tastes and dietary needs.

Personal Hygiene and Health Maintenance

Maintaining your personal hygiene and managing your health are essential components of living independently. We provide training in personal care routines, including grooming, bathing, oral care, and managing your medications. We also offer guidance on how to schedule and attend medical appointments, monitor your health, and follow prescribed treatments to maintain your well-being.

Household Management and Cleaning

Keeping your home clean and organized is key to creating a comfortable living space. Our life skills programs teach you how to manage household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, home maintenance, and organizing your living environment. You’ll gain the confidence to handle everyday chores independently, ensuring that your home is a space you’re proud of.

Time Management and Organization

Effective time management is crucial for balancing work, social activities, self-care, and personal responsibilities. We offer practical advice on how to manage your time, create daily routines, set achievable goals, and stay organized. This helps you take control of your day-to-day life and manage your responsibilities with ease.

Self-Advocacy and Decision Making

Living independently also means being able to make informed decisions about your life. We offer support in developing self-advocacy skills, helping you understand your rights, communicate your needs effectively, and make choices that align with your goals and values.
