Overview
This service is for people who want to live independently, but require some support.

The person that is being supported and the staff that work with them, choose their support hours together. Staff encourage each person to work towards the goals they’ve shared and encourage the person they’re supporting to maintain and build meaningful connections in their life.

FAQs
Is there a nurse or other healthcare professional in the home at all times?
While we consult with nurses and allied health care professionals, our 24-hour staff are not nurses. Most 24-hour staff are trained support workers. This applies for the Community Residential Program.
How much does this cost for my loved one?
When you’re accepted into this program, all shelter, food and staffing costs are funded. There is no cost to you for the above listed items.
How much will I remain involved in my loved ones life?
Yes! Your relationship will continue as it’s always been, you can be involved as much as you and your family member would like. We often see a varying a mount of involvement from different families, like when anyone moves out of their childhood home for the first time-some people go visit their childhood home once a week, others more frequently-and some come back only for special occasions and holidays.
Is there a waitlist?
When we receive a referral we determine whether there is a current opportunity to explore or whether we anticipate future opportunities
How do I get in touch with someone at CLDS to access your services?
If you have a Community Support Worker assigned to you (sometimes people call them a CSW) we encourage you to reach out to them.
