Developmental Services
A Place to Belong
At Carebridge, we believe that everyone deserves a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where they can thrive. We don’t just provide services—we create opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities to live with dignity, build meaningful relationships, and embrace a future full of possibilities.
Whether you’re looking for a welcoming home, opportunities for personal growth, or a strong community connection, Carebridge is here to support you every step of the way.
Our Person-Centered Approach
Your Life, Your Way
Every person is unique, with their own goals, strengths, and aspirations. That’s why we take a person-centered approach—ensuring individuals have control over their lives while receiving the support they need to flourish.
We balance what’s important for a person (health, safety, well-being) with what’s important to them (personal goals, relationships, and preferences). This ensures that every individual has positive control over their life while receiving the support they need to thrive.
Empowering Choice
We support individuals in making decisions that reflect their interests and values.
Fostering Inclusion
Everyone deserves to be recognized, valued, and included in their community.
Building Relationships
We help individuals develop strong connections with family, friends, and support networks.
Our team is trained in person-centred thinking, and we also provide training for caregivers and other organizations looking to adopt this approach. Reach out to learn more—we’re here to help.
Our Services
Residential Services
Finding the right place to live is about more than just housing—it’s about feeling at home. Carebridge offers a range of residential services designed to support individuals with developmental disabilities in living fulfilling, independent, and community-oriented lives.
Group Homes & Group Living Supports
For those who benefit from a shared living environment, our group homes provide a welcoming space where individuals live with a few unrelated housemates. Support is available up to 24 hours a day, tailored to each person’s needs and abilities, ensuring a safe and supportive home life.
Supported Independent Living
For those ready for greater independence, our supported independent living program provides assistance with daily activities while allowing individuals to live on their own. Participants receive 2 to 10 hours of support per week, helping with tasks like meal preparation, budgeting, or community engagement.
Family Home Program
This option offers a family-style living arrangement, where individuals move in with a carefully matched host family that shares similar interests, needs, and lifestyles. The host family provides care, guidance, and support while encouraging the individual to become an active and valued member of the household.
Community & Connection
A fulfilling life is about more than just a place to live—it’s about feeling connected. We work closely with local partners to create meaningful opportunities for engagement and personal growth.
