Person Centred Planning

Customized Care for Every Supported Person

Community Living Stratford and Area is committed to person centred planning.

We have a dynamic planning process that utilizes family, friends and paid supports to work together with the person to create a plan that honours wishes, dreams and aspirations.

Each person is supported by a facilitator to be fully engaged in the planning process.

Planning offers hope, a fundamental contributor to the well being of all of us.
Plans are living documents and are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure that we are responsive to changes that may impact the plan.

Supportive Neighbour Program

The Supportive Neighbour provides overnight monitoring, emergency and/or recreational supports in exchange for a rent subsidy. Ideally, this arrangement evolves into a natural relationship fostering growth and opportunities for both the person being supported and the neighbour.


Supportive Neighbours make an enormous difference in the lives of supported persons and are always needed. We welcome individuals, families, couples or multiple co-tenants. Please call us at 519-273-1000 if you would like to learn more.

Residential Living

Many Choices for Residential Living

Community Living Stratford and Area offers a variety of residential options, including:

 

  • Traditional 24-hour group living
  • 24-hour individual supports
  • Supported Independent Living (SIL)
  • Innovative approaches that match needs to supports

Regardless of the supports provided, it is our belief that it is the person’s home and is respected as such.
