What is Independent Living?
- PasadenaVilla.com How young adults with mental problems can transition to Independent Living
- In order for an individual to be able to live on his own successfully, he will need to be able to take care of his personal needs – dressing, eating, hygiene – as well as manage simple household chores such as the laundry and grocery shopping.
