01 / 07

Staffed Residential Support

Round-the-clock staffed homes for individuals with complex support needs.

Some people need support around the clock to live safely. That shouldn't mean giving up a real home, a daily routine of their own, or a place in the community. Our staffed residential homes are built around the people who live in them.

What's included

  • 24/7 staffed residential settings
  • Individualized support plans
  • Life-skills and community participation
  • Health and behavioural support

Funding that may help

  • A support worker and a young man set the dinner table together in a shared home.
  • Two residents and a support worker water plants together on the back deck.
  • A support worker helps a young woman sort her laundry.

Continuum of Care

Coordinated support that adapts as a person's needs change over time.

Needs change — our support changes with them. A continuum-of-care approach means one coordinated plan that adapts across life stages and levels of support, without the disruption of starting over each time.

What's included

  • Coordinated, adaptable care planning
  • Smooth transitions between service levels
  • Long-term relationship with the care team
  • Regular review and goal-setting

Funding that may help

  • A support worker and a young woman review a weekly schedule together.
  • A support worker meets with a young man and his parents at the kitchen table.
  • A young woman moves into a new apartment while a support worker holds the door.

Complex Care Needs

Nurse-led support for medically complex and high-acuity clients.

When someone's needs are medically complex, families often feel they have to become nurses, coordinators, and advocates all at once. We share that load — with clinical skill and genuine care for the whole person.

What's included

  • Nurse-led clinical support
  • Support for medically complex conditions
  • Behavioural and mental-health support
  • Close coordination with health providers

Funding that may help

  • A nurse adjusts medical equipment beside a young man in a wheelchair in an accessible bedroom.
  • A support worker reads aloud to a young woman who uses a wheelchair.

Shared Living Support

Matched shared-living arrangements in a supportive family or roommate setting.

Shared living pairs a person with a supportive household — a family or roommate setting where they can live with independence and belonging. We handle matching, onboarding, and ongoing support so the arrangement works for everyone.

What's included

  • Thoughtful matching and placement
  • Family-style or roommate living
  • Ongoing support and monitoring
  • Community connection and belonging

Funding that may help

  • A woman with Down syndrome bakes cookies with her caregiver in a family kitchen.

Home-Based Care Support

One-on-one support delivered in the person's own home and community.

Individualized support delivered where the person already lives. From daily living skills to getting out into the community, home-based care builds independence in familiar surroundings.

  • One-on-one in-home support
  • Daily living and life-skills building
  • Community access and participation
  • Flexible scheduling around the person

Foster Care Support

Wraparound support for foster placements and the caregivers who make them work.

Wraparound support for foster placements — for the young people in care and the families who open their homes. We work closely with families, agencies, and Indigenous elders to keep placements stable and culturally grounded.

What's included

  • Placement and caregiver support
  • Respite for foster families
  • Coordination with agencies and elders
  • Culturally grounded, trauma-informed care

Funding that may help

Respite Care

In-home and out-of-home relief for family caregivers — planned or at short notice.

Family caregivers need rest too. Respite care gives you reliable relief — at home or out in the community — whether it's a planned weekly break, holiday cover, or emergency support at short notice.

How we care

How we treat every client

Whatever the service, the person comes first — not the task list.

  • Dignity first

    We knock before we enter, ask before we help, and explain what we’re doing. Privacy and modesty are protected during personal care.

  • Their choices, their routine

    The care plan starts with the person — how they like their morning, what they eat, what matters to them — and we follow it.

  • Trauma-informed

    Safety, trust, and respect come first. We move at the person’s pace and never force care.

  • Culturally safe

    We honour each person’s culture, language, faith, and traditions, and work with families and Indigenous elders where they want us to.

  • Families stay in the loop

    You’re part of the care team. We share updates, listen to what you notice, and adjust the plan with you.

  • Nurses behind the team

    Registered nurses provide clinical oversight, so care workers have backup for medication, wound care, and changes in health.
