Our mission
We help adults with developmental disabilities build the lives they actually want.
Enoama is a Regional Center of the East Bay vendor providing Independent Living Services to adults aged 18 and over. Every session is one-on-one, in your home or community — never in a classroom or center.
We don’t deliver a curriculum at you. We work with you, at your pace, on the skills you choose: cooking the meals you like, managing your own money, riding the bus to work, owning your own healthcare, building friendships that matter. Your goals lead. We follow.
What we teach
Real skills. In real places.
Our curriculum follows Title 17 § 56742 — and every single skill is taught in your home, your store, your community.
Cooking
Hands-on instruction in your own kitchen — from following a recipe to running a stove safely.

Our approach
Five principles that guide everything we do.
Person-centered, community-based, and aligned with the federal HCBS Final Rule. These aren’t slogans — they shape every decision we make about how services are delivered.
A Home of One's Own
Services come to where you live. Your home is yours, separate from your supports.
Choice & Self-Direction
You decide what to work on, who supports you, and what success looks like for you.
Relationships That Matter
We work alongside the family, friends, and community already in your corner.
Real Community Membership
Skill-building happens in real grocery stores, real buses, real workplaces — your community.
Tailored & Flexible Supports
Your service plan is built around your goals and adjusts as those goals grow.
What a week looks like
Three sessions a week, about 40 hours a month.
A typical schedule includes three service days, each three to four hours, built around your goals. Here’s a sample week.
- Day 1 · Monday
A cooking day
Three to four hours in your kitchen. Plan a recipe, prep ingredients, cook a real meal together. You finish with dinner and a recipe card to keep.
- Day 2 · Wednesday
Money & home
We sit at your kitchen table. Review last week's spending, pay one bill online, schedule a savings transfer. Then knock out laundry and the week's mail.
- Day 3 · Friday
Out in the community
Today's goal: get to your favorite drum circle on your own. Plan the route, ride the bus, manage your fare card, and lead the trip back. We follow your pace.
Our work is simple in principle and demanding in practice: meet every person where they are, respect what they want, and walk with them — not in front of them — toward the life they choose.
