About this service
Our Supportive Independent Living Outreach program provides support to individuals who live in their own home and do not require overnight support. The need for paid support is minimized and the individuals independence is maintained. All support is provided in the context of community integration and is offered to enhance and sustain an individual quality of life. The hours of support offered are flexible and dependent on individual direction. Community support workers provide learning opportunities and assistance in problem solving, meal preparation, medication monitoring, appointments, transportation, education and community linkages. Our outreach program also provides support to individuals who still wish to live with a group of peers (2 4 peers) and focus on minimizing paid support. The Good Samaritan Society shared living homes are dependent on peer match, as individuals typically need to compliment each other in their strengths and needs with a strong emphasis on peer support. The individuals involved and stakeholders negotiate some level of risk management with the intent to decrease the need for scheduled staffing support. The expected outcome is to create environments of independence and support between individuals.
