Who We Are
Independent Living Solutions was formed in 2005 by Executive Director, Lisa Martin. Lisa’s vision for Independent Living Solutions was based on her belief that individuals with disabilities should be provided with the best possible choices for care and independence on a daily basis.
To achieve that vision, Independent Living Solutions has committed itself to the following principles:
