agree  JaneTranslates: Yes. It doesn't explicitly include all the elements of the original phrase but this is how the same concept is usually expressed. If there's any doubt, Tweety could write "independent living in your own home." But I'd leave it alone.

Autonomía en el Propio Hogar
self sufficiency in their own home


Explanation:
Another way of saying the same, but I believe they are refering to be able to take care of themselves on their own, without help
