To serve the Niagara community through the provision and promotion of a range of supportive human services which include social assistance, the operation of child care and seniors' facilities, and related community programs. Ranging from community services to facility care, services are available throughout the Niagara Region, primarily to seniors and their families. Pioneered in the Niagara Region in 1956 as Satellite Homes, this alternative housing program serves approximately 65 Niagara seniors. Carefully selected and supervised private residences provide accommodation for three to five seniors.
Residents carry on a normal lifestyle, participating in the activities of the home.
Persons under sixty with special needs can be accommodated. The program benefits the participants as well as family who may be providing care and support for the senior. Transportation to and from the program can be provided. Day Programs are located in our Long Term Care facilities and at a freestanding centre in Grimsby. Catharines and Niagara Falls.
