Our Philosophy
All people have the right to dignity. People that are developmentally delayed have the same rights, needs and feelings as other people. They have the right to guidance in determining their own personal goals, the right to access community services, the right to privacy as well as all other rights enjoyed by other men and women.
Our Aim
- To provide services that respect the human rights and dignity of the people we serve. To develop supports that meet each person's needs and recognize their unique strengths and qualities
- To empower people to make decisions about their own lives
- To provide opportunities for the community to meet and learn; to accept and value their citizens with developmental disabilities.
- To support the integration & inclusion of people with developmental disabilities into the mainstream of community living to the greatest extent possible
- To support people with developmental disabilities in using generic appropriate services in the community
- To support people with developmental disabilities in recognizing socially valued behaviour, images and social skills, and to support them in enhancing their public image
- To ensure all services are offered in an environment that is the least restrictive as possible, and to realize each individuals' dreams
- To support people with developmental disabilities in living a lifestyle of their choosing that matches the norms, patterns, and variety of mainstream life.
The people we provide service to are referred by and funded by the Community Living British Columbia or the Northern Health Authority; however, this service may also be purchased by any person or organization at a unit fee. Placement in our homes is determined by the Community Living British Columbia with input from TDCSS Community Living team.
