How It Works
Step 1: Build Personalized Routines
Care teams create customized routines and activities based on the individual’s goals, support needs, and environment. These routines can include timed tasks, checklists, reminders, and validation steps that help individuals follow consistent daily patterns.
Step 2: Support Independence Through the App
Individuals use the LifeSherpa app to receive clear, step-by-step guidance throughout their day. Prompts, reminders, and visual cues reduce confusion and reliance on staff or family while reinforcing independence.
Step 3: Monitor Progress & Respond When Needed
Caregivers, families, and providers use the LifeSherpa dashboard to track progress in real time, identify missed or incomplete activities, and step in only when support is truly needed—reducing unnecessary in-person supervision.
