RESIDENTIAL SUPPORTS

We offer a choice of residential placements of 4-6 bed Group Home environments in community neighbourhoods. Both long term and short term (relief/emergency) supports are available. A holistic, needs based approach is used, in concert with families, to develop an ‘Individual Life Plan’ that describes supports to be delivered. A brief profile of the typical residential client and the residential settings are presented below:
