Vinge Community Living Services provides specialized Residential, Day Program and Respite services for individuals with developmental disabilities and complex physical and/or mental health issues and for individuals with complex physical health issues. In addition, we also provide behavioural supports within two of our residential programs and day programs.

Our Community Living Services started in 1996 with the development of a individualized residential and day program for a young man with a developmental disability and complex health issues. We worked collaboratively with his family to create a service that demonstrated a true partnership between our organization, this young man and his family. From there, our Community Living Services have grown to seven residential programs (six that include day programs), two day programs and a respite care program.

Our Community Living Services, although specialized in supporting individuals with complex needs, have as its main goal: a safe and connected life in the community for all the individuals we support.

Our residential services provide comprehensive care around-the-clock. Our staff are well trained, well supervised and have 24/7 access to nursing judgment support if required.

Our day program services provide individualized support that “makes sense” for the individuals supported. Each individual’s day program is established with input from the individual (if able to provide input) and their family (or advocate). Programs are evaluated on a regular basis to assess program success and/or lack of success where changes/adjustments may be required.
