Frequently Asked Questions about the Community Living Department
I am living independently, but I need some extra support. Can you help me?
There are different ways that we can support you with this. The best plan is to set up a time to talk with someone from the Community Living department about what some options might be.
Can you help me find support workers?
Yes! We keep a database of people who are interested in working as Personal Support Workers (PSWs) through the Home Based Support Program and privately. We can also refer you to other organizations in town that help with this.
I am looking for live-in support/a supportive roommate, do you do that?
There are a number of members of the cooperative who have set up supportive housing models for themselves or their family members. We are happy to talk through some options and to connect you with others who have been through the process.
Wow, that’s a lot of information… I can’t remember what all you even do!
Sometimes it’s easier to use a picture! Here’s a graphic that shows all the different services and supports we offer. Remember - these are the general options we have, but we always want to hear from you about how they can be personalized to fit what you need! Never be afraid to ask!
