Eligibility for services is based upon assessed need. They focus on health and wellness and are strongly centred on the person's need. They strengthen the ability of family and neighbours to support the choice to live in the community. Paid and volunteer staff, accountable to a local board of directors, creatively deal with a wide range of non-medical needs. In addition to provincial funding, agencies are supported by untold volunteer hours and significant community financial donations.
Agencies are vibrant, viable, and have deep roots in the community.
Community support is based on a firm philosophical foundation that values a neighbourhood-based setting from which services are delivered in a friendly, caring manner, in order to enhance self esteem and promote independence. Community support emphasizes the strengthening of family and social networks. The fundamental goal of community support is to enhance the functional abilities of the people we support, thereby enabling them to improve their quality of life. Your thoughts are important to us.
