This is suitable for individuals that require supervision and a structured environment. In this model, clients are accommodated in the group home setting. Efforts are made to match individuals that will live well together. All our homes are supervised 24 hours per day by qualified support service professionals who are compassionate about clients’ welfare, safety, and security. The support service team promotes an inclusive community within the group and assists with goal setting, skill development, recreational and leisure activities, among others.

Supportive Roommate

This method provides a unique opportunity for clients to receive customised residential support services within a family setting that has a fit with the client’s unique needs and lifestyle. The supportive roommates are among our human capital asset approved to receiving trainings, orientations, and guidance within our policies framework. They focus on daily living skills and companionship in a safe, friendly, and inclusive environment our clients can call home.

Supported Independent Living​

This is when our staff provides support to individuals who live independently in their own homes and community and receive support from staff to assist with appointments, budgeting, bill payment, shopping, and other activities of daily living. This helps the individual to increase autonomy in general home maintenance.

recreation, involvement in community association programs, and participation in volunteering.

These activities provide opportunities to connect the Client to people within their community.
