At Better Hand Community, we are committed to delivering compassionate, person-centered care that empowers individuals to live independently and with dignity. We support people of all abilities through a variety of services—including home supports, employment assistance, respite care, and community integration. Our mission is to ensure each person feels safe, valued, and fully supported in their everyday life.

Individualized Home Supports

Without Training:

We provide a range of support services designed to assist individuals who live independently in their own homes or with their families.

With Training:

In addition to providing hands-on support, we also offer specialized training services to individuals living in their own homes or with family members. This training is focused on developing essential skills that empower individuals to manage their daily activities more effectively and confidently.

With Family Training:

Understanding that family members play a crucial role in an individual’s well-being, we extend our training services to include both the individual and their family members who live together in the family home. This approach ensures that families are equipped with the knowledge and techniques needed to provide consistent, effective support at home.
