FAMILY HOME PROGRAM

 

   

  

Dorice Dusty was on hand at the Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre in April providing visitors with information about the Family Home Program operated by Community Living Greater Sudbury.

WHAT IS THE FAMILY HOME PROGRAM

There are many individuals with a developmental challenge capable of thriving in a home setting.

There are also many sensitive and caring families, couples and individuals within our community who would happily welcome the opportunity to share their hearts and their homes.

Our goal is to locate, match-up and then assist both parties in getting together to function as a Family Home: one that embodies the true family spirit.

For some individuals, Family Home will become a permanent address. For others, it may serve as a stepping stone to a relatively independent life within the community.

Above all, Family Home can provide a place to develop positive relationships, enhance social and life skills as well as allow them the opportunity to become a more active member of the community.

SUPPORT SYSTEMS

Individuals and families are supported by a team of caseworkers who ensure that specialized services are coordinated. They also ensure that individuals are able to make the transition to community living while receiving the care and service required.

All homesharers receive day supports. Hours may be flexible depending on individual needs and program availability. Respite support is available to assist with the individual needs of all involved.

Family Home Providers receive remuneration for the responsibility they've undertaken. Financial assistance is also available for the homesharers to help them out with recreational activities, clothing and special devices that enhance their functional level in the home and community.

Formal training programs and on-going support from caseworkers is also offered to Family Home Providers. These supports help sustain a healthy long-term bond.
