Our approach
Five principles that guide everything we do.
Enoama's Independent Living Services are built on five core principles drawn from the federal HCBS Final Rule and California Title 17.
A Home of One's Own
We come to where you live. Your home, whether it's an apartment, a family home, or shared housing, stays separate from your services.
Choice & Self-Direction
You decide what to work on, who supports you, and what success looks like. If a staff member isn't a fit, we work to match you with someone who is.
Relationships That Matter
We build on the family, friends, and community members already in your life rather than replacing them, and we share responsibility for your wellbeing.
Real Community Membership
Skills are practiced where you will use them, at the grocery store, on the bus, at work, and around your neighborhood. Not in a classroom.
Tailored & Flexible Supports
Your Individual Service Plan centers on your goals and adapts as your priorities change. No one-size-fits-all lessons.
How we operate
One-on-one, matched, and out in the community.
- A consistent 1:1 staffing ratio in every session.
- Staff matched on communication style, personality, cultural background, and support needs.
- Services delivered entirely in community settings, never in a center-based facility.
- Plans that follow your goals and change when your priorities do.
