Our Mission: Life Journey Partners of America is a Non-profit Organization committed to building and supporting Caregiving Communities within existing communities to address gaps in care and provide education and training necessary to care for individuals who would otherwise be unable to remain in their homes due to physical or mental disabilities, regardless of the ability to pay.
Our Vision: As our population ages, more people will need caregiving, and many will be unable to pay for the care needed, requiring care by family and friends. We envision a community supportive of caregivers and committed to finding caregiving solutions to cover gaps in care, including training of paid and unpaid caregivers, funding to cover gaps in essential care and a House Share Program, developed to match individuals who will flourish in a shared living arrangement, serving the needs of the home insecure and those at risk while living alone.
