Some people require. Many require 24-hour nursing supports and total care, while others are medically stable. Some require supports and assistive devices for their mobility and seating, while others are fully independent and ambulatory.

Many of our clients are non-verbal, however are able to express themselves using various communication devices and methods. A primary focus for some may be sensory stimulation, leisure and therapeutics, while others enjoy full community participation.
