Supported Independent Living
– The agency is mandated to provide

to nine (9) people who live in their

Respite – Other community
agencies provide formal respite
services. Our agency does, however,
offer two forms of the service
Brokerage - for a family that
receives funding for respite. The
family hires people to provide
support in their own home and
invoices the agency according to a
pre-approved budget that was
approved through the S.D.&G. Service
Coordination Committee and the
Ministry.
We offer the use of a
non-residential house we own (it is
a skills training centre) to allow
parents to spend weekends away from
home, while their son or daughter
stays at home. This allows children
to stay in a familiar environment,
instead of always having the child
leave home for periods of respite.
All we provide is the use of the
facility. There is no charge for the
use of the building.
Foundations – This service
provides a transition from school to
day activities. Community Living
Dundas County manages this
initiative and purchases service for
Stormont County from C.L.S.C. People
served are between the ages of 18
and 28 years. The number of people
served depends on the availability
of funds. |
