Community Living

GVCSS operates six homes in the Lower Mainland for adult individuals with developmental disabilities. Located in residential neighbourhoods in Vancouver, Richmond, and North Vancouver, each home is designed to facilitate the individuals’ independence and community involvement. 

Our Community Living Program is funded by Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) and has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) since 2006.

Services

Our Community Living program includes a variety of services that enable the individuals to exercise their independence while ensuring their safety and comfort:

  • Comprehensive personal care
  • Community involvement – i.e. recreational activities, social visits, shopping etc. 
  • Assistance with activities of daily living - i.e. feeding, exercises, and household chores
  • 24/7 monitoring
