The purpose of the Community Support Program is to help determine and provide the necessary level of assistance needed to safely maintain a client living in the community. The program capitalizes on individual strengths while teaching life skills.
Clients living in the satellite apartments are supported by rehabilitation care workers who travel to the client’s apartment to provide rehabilitative support where identified. This program includes a 24-hour on call emergency support program, remotemedication administration assistance, and individual service plan development and implementation.
Prospective apartment residents must meet the acceptance criteria of the associated transition or supported living home. In some cases, an intake to the transitional residential program at King Edward House for a short period may be mandatory prior to admission to the Community Support Program. Upon acceptance to the program, the rehabilitation staff will assist with an apartment search, lease arrangements, utility hook-ups, purchasing furnishings and household products and arranging pharmacy support and medication.
Graduates from the satellite apartments often move on to their own individual apartments with or without community support services assistance attached.
