Residential Accommodations

At Community Living North Halton, we provide person-centered residential support services to adults with developmental disabilities. We know that because everyone has unique needs and goals, we need to strive to provide the best support possible to everyone in our care.

Community Living North Halton is proud to assist in shaping futures. Our residential services were created to uplift those that we care for. We engage our supported individuals with structured day-to-day routines that build confidence and independence. Development in skills such as meal preparation, household responsibilities, shopping, and budgeting are just some key areas that we focus on at Community Living North Halton.

Our residential accommodations are conveniently located in Acton, Georgetown, and Milton, Ontario. 24-hour care from our qualified support staff.

Supported Independent Living (SIL)

Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) services are designed to be solution-oriented. This program provides adults with an intellectual disability living in their own homes with the necessary supports to develop community connections and empowers people to live independently within their community. We work with families to find a livable solution for their loved ones whether it be living in their family home or creating an alternative housing option. We have information on how to renovate for someone with a disability and can assist in the process if separate living- quarters are needed.

Supports are tailored to each person’s unique needs, abilities, desires, and goals as reflected in their life plan. Services include financial planning/budgeting, medical coordination, meal planning/preparation, apartment management inclusive of tenant-landlord issues, organizing social/recreational activities, supporting the involvement of the person’s family and friends, and exercising one’s rights.

All people, regardless of their abilities, should have the appropriate supports to allow them to live and function independently in their community.

Employment Skills & Volunteer Opportunities

At Community Living North Halton, everyone belongs and is valued. We know that feeling valued and a part of a community welcomes growth and confidence. Our Employment Skills & Volunteer Opportunities enable our supported individuals to be competitively employed within the community. Foundational job skill building such as mock interviews, resume writing, skills assessments, and volunteering help ready our individuals for employment. Local volunteering opportunities give individuals the framework to build upon skills if they are not quite ready for work.
