Independent Living Center


Our family of agencies began with the Independent Living Center 28 years ago. During the past few years, the Independent Living Center has continued serving participants in need of services to help maintain their independence. Since, services have expanded and evolved in order to meet our goal of full partnership for people with disabilities in our community. The Independent Living Center has a proud record of service to our consumers, our community and to our staff. It is our continuous goal through our work to Empower, Educate, and Inform to create Equality for all.

The Independent Living Center (ILC) provides various services such as Peer Counseling, Advocacy, Benefits and Advisement, Information & Referral, and Independent Living Skills. We accomplish our mission by concentrating on empowering the consumer in three areas of concentration: IL Services, Developmental Disability Programming, and Transitional Services.



Money Follows The Person

Western New York Independent Living Inc., under contract with the NYS Department of Health, is reaching out to nursing home residents throughout the Counties of Niagara, Orleans, Chautauqua, Wyoming, and Erie, to give people the tools and information they need to transition back into the community. Today, living in a nursing home is generally a choice. Most of the services a person receives in a nursing home is available in the community. We believe in your right to choose the setting where you spend the rest of your life, and we have 30 years of experience to back that up.

Whether you simply want to know more, or are seriously interested in a transition, an Outreach Specialist can meet with your family, friend, or loved one, to help you navigate your way back home. For the Counties of Niagara, Orleans, Chautauqua, Wyoming, and Erie contact Western New York Independent Living at 716-836-0822, Ext 126.
