The Supported Independent Living Program right for you if:
The focus of this program is to provide small-group living. Weekly supports by staff are provided around finances, meal planning, community access and individual life skills goals.
The program is located on the Hamilton Mountain.
This residential support is in a townhouse that is the home of the adult residents. This housing is available all year with some staffing breaks due to holidays.
Government funding (MCSS) and our partnership with Kiwanis Homes allows us to provide an affordable cost for our residential services. Living and support fees will be discussed with families at an initial meeting.
