Our Approach – What we believe and what we do.

We provide individualized support based on the person’s unique strengths, needs, and desired lifestyle. The best part is that the individual and their support network (guardians, trustees, family, friends, etc.) have the ultimate say as to how this support can take shape in the person’s everyday life. All the while, their decisions are guided by a rehabilitation worker, whose role is to clearly define their options and how to put them into action.

Our support is designed around these basic truths:

  • respect for each individual’s right to live with dignity;
  • all individuals are an integral part of their community;
  • encouraging, respecting and promoting the participant’s choices for growth and development; and
  • the natural rhythms of every day life within one’s community are essential to living a “healthy lifestyle”.

The reasons why this approach works are:

  • Individual’s choices are valued and support is holistic.
  • Community inclusion is encouraged to prevent social isolation.
  • Formalization of the service delivery is identified.
  • Individual’s network of natural supports are encouraged to participate in the delivery of the individual’s support system.
